This
record is in very good condition. It has spindle marks
visible on the labels but no pen marks, scuffs, fading or any other
damage. The centres are not loose or overly worn and overall the labels are clean, bright and in good
shape but with the spindle marks as mentioned.
As for the vinyl itself, there is nothing deep or nasty evident but there is quite a lot of very light surface lines and sleeve scuffs/marks showing on both sides. These are light
and of course cannot be felt but they are a clear sign of use. They clearly show under bright light along with more wispy
lines. So overall the record is used but has nothing deep or nasty just lots of faint surface lines really.
I
play
tested the record and it played well and although not 100% pristine it was an enjoyable listen with no major issues or serious interference. It lays flat on the
deck
and upon playing there is little to no movement in the arm. The audio
produced is free of any skips, sticks or ticks but there is some light surface noise in places. This can be heard faintly between some tracks and also in the quieter passages such as track 3 on side 1. None of the surface noise is majorly disruptive however and both sides would be a solid grade of VG+ in my opinion.
The
sleeve
is in very good condition. It has wear and rubbing to the
edges
and corners(pics) with the writing along the spine now no longer legible. There are
no
splits anywhere however and despite the wear it is still solid enough. There are no tears or pen marks but there is small scuffs along the bottom edge on the rear. There is also ring marks/outlines to each side, some creasing and a small sticker removal mark on the front towards the top right corner. So overall a solid enough sleeve but one that does show its age and clear signs of handling. 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 plain white inner which is in very good condition
with no splits, tears or pen marks but with creasing, ring marks and mild
discolouring.
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 ensure swift delivery.
