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 good condition. It has spindle marks visible but no pen marks, scuffs or severe fading. There is a little wear around the centre holes but these are not loose and overall the labels are in good shape.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are free from anything really deep or serious but is has loads of light surface lines and scuffs visible in normal light. These clearly show under very bright white light, along with more light wispy lines. There is again nothing really sinister however just loads of these very light surface marks. It has no major nasty scuffs, marks or blemishes and still has a decent shine.

I play tested the record and it plays remarkably well. It lays flat and upon playing there is next to no movement noticable in the record arm. As for the audio this is very good overall and still very enjoyable. There are no serious issues such as sticks, skips or annoying clicks but there is light surface noise audible throughout. This is really only audible between tracks and in the much softer parts, although I picked up on some louder interference in track 1 on side 2. So overall it isnt immaculate audio but I would say it would grade higher than G+ audible with no serious issues and only occasional intereference in places.

The iconic gatefold sleeve is in good+ condition. It has some wear to the edges and corners(pics) but this has caused no splits, all the edges are stong and the sleeve is still solid overall. Its issues are more superficial but it has a few and so the I hope the grading represents these. Firstly there is age related grubbiness to both sides and also inside the gatefold. There is also some staining, with a few spots here and there and a mor prominent area on the back bottom right corner area. Other than this there is also a tear/damage to the central area of the front right edge. This is noticable just to the one side of the gatefold but there are further issues. There is some marks or small dents/holes inside the gatefold(top central area on both sides) and also some scuffing to the far, far right edge. So overall not a pristine sleeve and as you can see it has lots of small superficial issues rather than one large one. There are no splits, pen marks however and overall it is solid enough. Although I have tried to descibe it best I can please study the pictures provided to gain as much information on its condition as you can.

It includes its original lyrics inner which is in very good+ condition. It has no splits to the edgesand overall it is strong and solid. There is no tears, scuffs or pen marks anywhere but there is some light creasing and fading in places. Again please check out the photo of the inner to try and get an understanding of its condition.

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.
