VINYL
Record is graded EX+++
The vinyl is unmarked, apart from 1 surface mark following part of the groove on side 2 track 2- this does not affect the audio.
The LP plays superbly, quiet between tracks, no pops or bangs, sticking or jumping.
Label - a few spindle marks - but not very noticeable.
COVER
The cover is graded VG+, and is a nice shiny black laminate front cover and unlaminated back cover.
The cover is a 'flip-back' UK Garrod & lofthouse.
The spine is excellent with all lettering visible.
The edges are excellent.
The front cover has ring wear, where there is laminate blistering - see cover.
The cover has ringwear on the back cover
The track running times have been written on the back cover with a ballpoint pen, but as this is on a black background it is not very noticeable.
INNER SLEEVE
The Inner sleeve is the original EMI Capitol sleeve and is in good shape apart from partial splits in both sides
Please see my feedback on selling LPs over the last couple of years.
The record will be packed in a stiff package specifically designed for sending vinyl throught the post, with added protection on the corners
