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 near mint condition. It has just a few faint spindle marks visible on the labels and no pen marks, scuffs or any other damage such as stains or fading. Overall the labels are clean, bright and in really nice condition. As for the vinyl itself both sides are very clean, have a lovely lustre and show little to nothing in normal light. There is the odd thin light wispy line visible under bright light but nothing much and of course nothing remotely deep or serious. So overall the record is in really nice condition, has a lovely lustre and shows no major signs of use to its playing surfaces.
I play tested the record and it played really well with nice clarity and little to no surface noise or interference. It lays flat on the deck and there is minimal movement in the record arm upon playing. The sound produced is excellent with no distortion caused by excessive use and of course no skips, sticks or annoying clicks. Overall it was a pleasure to play test and produced audio of nice quality and good clarity throughout.The front laminated sleeve is in excellent condition. It has slight wear to the edges and corners but nothing major and there are no splits. The text on the spine is all clearly legible and there are no tears, scuffs or pen marks on the sleeve. There is however a faint sticker removal residue mark to the rear and also some light age related discolouring/grubbiness. Other than these minor issues there is also some light laminate marking to the front and a faint ring mark. There is no major levels of creasing however and overall the sleeve is in tidy enough condition considering its age. 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 includes its original plain white poly-lined inner which is in very good+ condition. This has no splits, tears or pen marks but has creasing, minor wear on the edges and ring marks.
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.
