These
records are in excellent condition. There are hardly any spindle marks visible on
the labels and no pen marks, scuffs or fading
anywhere. The centres show next to no wear and are not loose or worn.
Overall the labels are clean, bright and in great shape.
As
for the vinyl itself, all four sides have a vivid lustre and overall
are nice and clean. There is no stand out nasty scratches on any side but
there is the odd thin light surface line, minor mark and minor sleeve
scuff showing in places on each side. Side 1 of side 2 has a few light lines(see pics) but again nothing nasty and overall all four sides have a lovely gloss and have no serious marks.
I
play tested
both the records and they both played very well with excellent audio of
great
clarity throughout. They both lay flat on the deck and upon
playing
there is
little to no movement in the record arm. The audio was really enjoyable
throughout with no skips, sticks or clicks and little to no surface noise or interference. The run in/out on each side maybe had the lightest trace of surface noise but overall the audio was a very strong EX grade throughout with little to report.
The gatefold sleeve is
in excellent condition. It has only minor wear to the
edges and
corners and they are all strong with no splits anywhere. The writing
on the spine is all legible and there
are no tears or scuffs
anywhere. There is however a pen mark(Christmas message) in side the gatefold near the top left corner area. Other than the pen mark and light wear there is some mild ring marks showing, a few very minor creases and light discolouring in places. These are all minor however and overall the sleeve is excellent with only light sign of age and the pen mark as mentioned. 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 both of
its original plain white inners which are in a similar excellent condition. There are no
splits, tears or pen marks on either of them but both have some minor creasing and slight age related 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 try to ensure a swift delivery.
