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. These records are in ...very good+ condition. There are spindle marks on each label but no pen marks, scuffs, stains or fading anywhere. There is no serious wear showing to the centres and overall the labels are tidy.
As for the vinyl itself both records have nothing nasty or deep showing but do have light signs of use. All four sides have a good lustre but there is some light wispy lines, scuffs and general signs of age/use showing. These marks/lines cannot be felt but can be seen lightly in normal light. Overall the vinyls are not pristine but are also still in good playable condition with no nasty deep or major marks.
I play tested both the records and they both played well overall with no major issues and enjoyable audio. They both lay flat with little to no movement in the record arm upon playing. The sound produced on all four sides is free of skips, jumps or annoying clicks. The audio on all four sides is a solid grade of VG+ with no major issues. Saying this there is some light surface noise in places and the occasional noise, pop or splutter. I noted some light surface noise in the run ins and between tracks but there was very little during the vast majority of play.
The sleeve is in excellent condition. It is solid all round with no splits, tears or pen marks but does have some signs of age. The majority of the edges and corners show only light wear but there is a 1" area of wear in the centre of the top edge. There is also a few small 'flaps' to the rear top edge around this area. Other than these fairly minor issues there is also light ring marks showing and a few minor creases. There is also slight age related discolouring but nothing extreme. I have tried to describe the sleeve as best I can but please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible. It contains both its original picture inners which are in very good+ condition. Both are solid with no splits, tears or pen marks but both have ring marks and light grubbiness/discolouring. Both records will be sent in brand new plain white inners to ensure no further wear occurs to the originals. #Also included is the picture insert. This is in excellent condition with some signs of age but no major issues.
The record will be packaged in cardboard stiffeners and bubble wrapped thoroughly when dispatched. It will also be sent in a brand new protective plastic sleeve, and within 24hrs of receiving payment to try to ensure a swift delivery. 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. All offers are considered and are more than welcome. Many thanks for looking.
