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 very good+ condition. It does have some spindle marks visible on each label but there is not an extreme amount. The centres are not loose and the labels are clean, bright and all text is legible. Overall they are excellent with just a few spindle marks to report.
As for the vinyl itself, both sides are free from anything deep, major or hugely noticeable but do have faint sleeve 'scuffs' and general light signs of use showing in normal light. These light lines/scuff and some more incredibly light wispy lines show under bright but again nothing deep or serious. So overall a used record that has no nasty marks or serious defects but has signs of use and age to each side.
I play tested the record and it played nicely and produced enjoyable audio throughout. It is used however and although it is still a good listen is not pristine. It lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is little to no movement in the record arm. The audio produced is a strong grade of VG+ with no skips, sticks or hugely distruptive clicks. I noted light amounts of surface noise in the run ins/out, the occasional splutter in the actual audio and the odd minor noise. There was also a few light tics in the in the run out of track 2 on side 2. These were not load or disruptive however and overall the audio is certainly still enjoyable with no major issues or serious levels of interference.
The sleeve is in very good+ condition. It has some wear and rubbing to the edges and corners but the writing along the spine is still just about legible. There are no splits or weak areas on the sleeve and overall it is solid all round. There are no tears or pen marks to either side but there is ring marks and creases in places, There is also a few small white marks or scuffs on the rear near the left centre area. So overall a solid sleeve with no really serious issues but some general signs of age and handling as mentioned. I have tried to describe the sleeve as best I can but please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible as to its condition.
It contains its original lyric inner which is in excellent- condition. This has no splits, tears or pen marks but does have creasing and minor wear. The record will be sent in a brand new plain white replacement to ensure no damage occurs to the original during transit.
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.
