Label: RCA Neon
Ref: NE 7
Sleeve - Very good
Despite its age, the sleeve is still very nice. There is some edge wear, but nothing drastic, and no circle marks or anything. The only real drawback is a strip where it looks like a length of tape has been torn away from the inner gatefold. This can be seen in the second image, along the bottom edge of the left 'page' of the inner gatefold. It measures about a centimetre high and is the width of the gatefold. If it wasn't for this blemish, I'd rate the sleeve as 'excellent'. The inner is a generic white sleeve with no markings to identify it as specific to this release.
Vinyl - Very Good
The vinyl shows some surface markings that are visible only in bright light - none are deep and don't look like they affect play. There is no spindle wear at all. On the turntable, this one is quite a treat. There is a bit of snap and crackle, but not much and a diligent clean may well reduce this further. Once the music starts though, the quality and clarity are great. I would honestly describe this record as a very enjoyable listening experience.
Postage - is set at 2.16. However if the record goes for more than £46 - I will discuss further options to suitably insure this disc. (Special delivery seems the best way to - 5.90, but that would also mean next day delivery.)
I am a vinyl aficionado myself and understand the value of decent packing - worry not - a proper LP mailer will be used, as well as some additional strengthening card. I will even write 'fragile' and 'do not bend' on the packaging.
