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 successful.

This record is in excellent+ condition. It has just a couple of very light spindle marks visible on the labels and no pen marks, scuffs or any other damage. The centres are not loose and overall the labels are in great shape.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are very clean with little visible in normal light, just a few very minor lines when tilted directly into light. There are a few more incredibly minor light wispy lines visible under very bright white light, but nothing drastic and of course nothing remotely serious. The record has no scuffs or blemishes and has a beautiful lustre.

I play tested the record and it plays really well. It lays and has only slight movement in the record arm with just a very small raise noticeable on side 1. Side 2 has almost no movement at all and both sides produce a sound which is superb. Its crisp, clear and other than a miniscule trace in the run in has next to no interference or surface noise. There are obviously no skips, sticks or clicks and no other serious musical issues. Its a quality audio experience and was a pleasure to play test one of my all time favourites with such clear defined audio.

The sleeve is in very good+ condition. It has only slight wear to the edges and corners(pics), and the writing along the spine is all clearly legible. All the edges are rock solid and there is as I say only very slight wear showing. There are no tears, scuffs or pen marks anywhere on the sleeve, and overall it is strong and in good solid condition. It does however have some minor age related discolouring to both sides and also mild/faint staining around the edges. Please see the pictures above to get an understanding of the severity of this staining, which in my opinion isn't drastic but is noticeable when the sleeve is studied. Other than the staining and slight grubbiness(which is main reason for lower grading) there are a few very minor short creases in places but nothing major. It is as I say strong all round with just these fairly minor superficial issues as mentioned.

It contains its original gold inner in excellent- condition. This has no splits, tears, pen marks or major damage, but has faint ring marks and also this mild staining around the edges(in similar positions to the outer sleeve).

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.

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.
