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 excellent+ condition. It has just a few faint spindle marks visible on the labels and overall they are clean, bright and in really nice condition. There is some minor manufacturing 'cracks', and a little of the green missing near the very centre of side 2 however(see pics).
As for the vinyl itself, both sides are nice and clean with a lovely lustre and nothing at all major or serious showing. There are a few light signs of use, with the odd wispy line and a couple of light sleeve marks, but there is nothing at all serious. Overall it is a very tidy copy with just light signs of use to its playing surfaces.
I play tested the record and it played well throughout. It lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is little to no movement in the record arm. The sound produced is excellent throughout with no skips, sticks or annoying tics and no major levels of surface noise. There was a touch of light surface noise in the run ins on each side however, and also a very minor hint in some of the much quieter passages of play. This is really at a very low level however and is not loud but there is traces in parts. Overall a very nice listen though with no serious issues and just traces of slight surface noise as mentioned.
The sleeve is in excellent condition. It is generally very tidy all round with no scuffs, tears, splits or pen marks. There is however some wear showing along the spine, although this is still all legible. The other edges show just a few faint traces of rubbing. Other than the wear on the spine there is also some light fading to the rear, a few light creases in places, and a small bend or area of creasing to the rear bottom right corner. 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 with no splits, tears, pen marks or much sign of handling but with some age spots showing to both sides. The record will be sent in a brand new plain white replacement inner 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.
Many thanks for looking.
