All records are graded to the Record Collector Guidelines, with extra information added as required when play tested. Also all photos above are of the exact record you will receive if purchased.
This record is in excellent condition. It has some very faint spindle marks visible on the labels but there are no pen marks or major damage. There is some light 'rubbing' around the centre of side 1 however. Overall the labels are clean, bright and in good shape with just light signs of age/use.
As for the vinyl itself, both sides have a lovely lustre and show nothing major, deep or nasty. There is faint sleeve marks, a few wispy lines and minor signs of use/age/handling evident however. There is also some superficial and very minor faint manufacturing lines. Overall the vinyl is still in good playable condition with no major signs of use but is also not pristine visually.
I play tested the record and it played nicely and was thoroughly enjoyable throughout. It lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is little to no movement in the record arm. The sound produced is free of skips, sticks or loud annoying tics and generally has no major or serious interference. There was trace amounts of surface noise in the run ins on each side however and also the occasional light noise or splutter of surface noise in the quieter sections. Overall it plays well and was enjoyable throughout but was also not 100% pristine.
The sleeve is in excellent condition. It has no major issues and is still partially in its original shrink. This has preserved the edges and corners well and these show minimal wear and any text is legible. It has no tears, scuffs or pen marks but does have discolouring and grubbiness to the front right/rear left side, where the shrink is not covering. Overall a solid and tidy sleeve with no major wear but some age related grubbiness in parts. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible on its condition.
It includes its original Atlantic inner which is in very good condition. This has no tears or pen marks but has split along the bottom edge. There is also other signs of age with some grubbiness and mild creasing.I will send the record in a brand new plain white replacement.
The record will be packaged in cardboard stiffeners and bubble wrapped thoroughly when dispatched. It will also be sent in a brand new protective plastic sleeve, and within 24hrs of receiving payment to try to ensure a swift delivery.
I hope my photos are comprehensive enough but if you have any questions then don't hesitate to contact me. Also please check my eBay feedback for a positive history of record grading, A1 communication and quick delivery times.
