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 faint spindle marks visible on each label but there is no pen marks, scuffs, major stains or other issues. There is only light wear showing to the centres and these are not loose or excessively worn. Overall the labels are clean, bright and have all text legible. There is signs of use and age but nothing major issues.
As for the vinyl itself, both sides are free from anything deep or really major but there is some light scratches, faint sleeve 'scuffs', a few blotchy or mottled areas, and a couple of manufacturing blemishes showing. It still has a decent lustre and despite all these issues mentioned it is not completely trashed but is used and has signs of this.
I play tested the record and it played well overall and although not perfect was still an enjoyable listen. It lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is little to no movement noticeable in the record arm. The audio is free of skips or sticks and generally has good clarity. There was light surface noise in some of the quieter parts however and the run ins. On side 1 I noted no loud noises but a few faint ones in the audio but these were masked well and hard to notice. Overall side 1 plays as a solid grade of VG+ in my opinion. Side 2 is much the same with some surface noise and light noises in parts but also a series of 8 to 10 light tics that sound in the intro to track 4 before it drops. These can be heard but are not really loud and pass pretty swiftly. There is also a blemish in the last track that it plays through ok until the run out of the track where it causes around 5 or 6 noises.
So overall not a pristine audio experience but one that can certainly still be enjoyed and for the most part is interference free.
The sleeve is in very good condition. It has some light wear and rubbing to the edges and corners but the writing along the spine is still legible. There are no splits or weak areas and the sleeve is still solid all round. There is also no tears or pen marks on the sleeve. There is light ring marks and some slight creasing in places though and also some scratches/indentations on the rear. These are the most noticeable issue but are not really serious. Overall a solid and decent sleeve but one that has general age related wear and the marks/scratches to the rear 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 picture/lyric inner which is in very good+ condition. This is solid with no splits, tears or pen marks but does have creasing, ring marks and general signs of age to it. The record will be sent in a brand new plain white replacement to ensure no further wear occurs to the original.
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.
