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 successful.
This record is in very good+ condition. It has spindle marks visible on the labels but there are no pen marks, scuffs or any other damage such as stains or fading. The centres are not loose or worn and overall the labels are clean, bright and in good shape.
As for the vinyl itself, both sides are free from anything serious but do have a few light lines and marks showing in normal light. There is also a few incredibly minor 'sleeve scuffs' and some manufacturing 'mottling' or whiskers. These signs of use and some more minor wispy lines show under bright light, but again nothing deep or sinister. So overall a very old record which has signs of use but nothing drastic and has no nasty scuffs, marks or blemishes and has a lovely lustre.
I play tested the record and it plays well overall with no major issues such as skips, sticks or disruptive clicks but it has general light interference and minor surface noise more or less throughout. This is not extreme but can be heard in places. All the dialogue and singing can still be followed easily however and all is still very enjoyable. It is juts mild general spluttering and noises lightly throughout really.
The sleeve is in very good+ condition. It has rubbing and wear to the edges and corners with a small 1" split coming left from the bottom right corner. Despite this small split the sleeve is still solid all round and for its age still appears tidy. There are no tears, scuffs or pen marks anywhere but there is some general age related grubbiness in parts. Overall a solid sleeve which is holding up well considering its age. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible on its condition.
It includes its original plain white inner which is in very good condition. This is solid with no splits but has creasing, ring marks, severe yellowing/discolouring and also a small tear to the central window.
It is missing its original booklet/insert unfortunately.
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.
