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.
These records are in excellent- condition. They have some faint spindle marks on the labels but there are no pen marks, scuffs, fading or staining anywhere. There is no serious wear around the centres and overall they are clean, bright and in nice condition.
As for the vinyl itself, all four sides are free from anything at all serious or major. They have a nice lustre and have no heavy or serious marks but do have some light wispy lines, a few light lines/marks and minor handling marks. There is also very slight and faint groove wear showing on all four sides when the records are angled into light. This is minor but can be seen faintly. Overall they are both tidy with no serious marks or issues but have some signs of use/age.
I play tested both the records and they played well throughout. They lay flat on the deck with little to no movement in the record arm upon playing. The sound produced is free from skips, sticks or annoying clicks and is of good clarity. There is the odd most minor trace of surface noise or splutter in places but certainly nothing at all major and overall all four sides were a nice tidy listen.
The laminated gatefold sleeve is in excellent condition. It has no serious wear to the edges with the text on the spine all legible. There is some wear on the front bottom corner however and a little to the other corners. There are no splits, scuffs or pen marks and just a few minor creases. There are only very slight ring marks showing and inside the gatefold is clean and has no issues. There is light bruising along the record entry edges and one small 3mm tear, but nothing extreme and overall the sleeve is tidy with no major issues. I have tried my best to describe the sleeve but please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible as to its condition.
It contains both its original red inners which are in very good+ condition. The have no splits or pen marks but have some signs of age with some creasing in places, some wear on the edges and a couple of small tears. The records will be sent in two brand new plain white replacement inners.
