I've priced this relatively low because it does have light marks on it. Having just inspected the LP very closely, only one of these marks is a short scratch and that's along the groove right at the end of Side 2. The rest are just superficial marks.
The LP plays without any long runs of repeated clicks (just two passages of 4 or 5 on Side 2). There is some light crackle, which is most prominent at the beginning of Side 2 (curiously it appears mostly in the left channel), and some occasional random clicks and pops. The sound is generally very bright, clear, and undistorted. I also have a copy of the UK-pressed AMS version. This has significantly better sound, especially in the mids and highs. The bass of both is superb.
I haven't professionally cleaned the LP.
I use Record Collector gradings, with the accepted addition of NM, which is my highest grading for a used record. I never grade M or M- unless the LP is new.
Paypal only, please.
I will combine postage for multiple purchases - please wait for invoice.
All items that sell for more than £20 will be posted 'signed for' and tracked, with the tracking number added to the eBay order.
Your LP(s) will be packaged securely in a heavy card mailer, with the vinyl removed from the sleeve for safety.
