There is a name hand written in the colourband part of both labels (see photos).
Matrix codes etc:

Play grades as EX-.
Play graded on a Pro-Ject Essentials III Bluetooth deck fitted with an Ortofon OM10 cartridge, sent through a Naim Mu-So QB2 Wireless speaker system.
On both sides all musical & vocal passages play clearly & brightly.
There are no sticks, jumps or skips and no evidence of any groove wear at all. There are no clicks or tics and there is a little quiet, very brief dust noise in just a few places.
When tilted under normal lighting side 1 has just a few light needle marks & light scratches, of which 1 is a needle line across the side at about 2 o'clock. Side 2 has only a few small similar marks.
When tilted under halogen lights both sides do have quite a few more light surface marks visible.
Sleeve grades as VG+.
Not a bad example.
No edge splits with just a little light wear in the centre of the spine. There is a name hand written in the front, top left corner, just above the pastedown.
There is a little surface rubbing on the front, a light ring impression and a little age discolouration on the rear, which also has a name hand written in the top, left corner (see photo).
Plain white inner sleeve grades as EX.
I USE RECORD COLLECTOR GRADINGS AND USE A +/- WHERE I FEEL THAT IT'S APPROPRIATE.
See photos.
I combine items to reduce p&p cost so if you purchase more than one item please wait for my invoice before making payment.

ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE ASK.
I dispatch records in brand new, bought in mailers designed for the process. Before placing in the mailer I take LPs out of the sleeve place both in a polysleeve and between two card stiffeners and if there is a picture sleeve I place the LP in a plain sleeve to prevent knifing of the picture sleeve. [all this costs £0.80/single LP].
