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 some faint spindle marks visible on the labels but no pen marks, scuffs or fading. There is no major wear around the centre holes and they are not loose. Overall the labels are in great shape with no major problems to report.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides very clean overall with just a few light lines visible in normal light. These are not remotely deep, are thin and are very minor. There are a few more incredibly light wispy lines visible under very bright white light but again nothing remotely sinister. So overall a classic record free from anything remotely serious, that has a lovely shine but has a couple of slight superficial lines.

I play tested the record and it plays really well. It lays flat and there is little to no movement in the record arm upon playing. The sound produced  is superb throughout with little to no interference. The vast majority of the record has no surface noise audible with just a trace between some tracks. Overall a thoroughly enjoyable play test with audio of high quality and free of any major issues.

The gatefold sleeve is in very good+ condition. It has some wear to the edges and corners(pics), but this is mainly in one place on the top rear edge. This has caused a 2" split(see pics) but other than this area all the edges are strong and the spine is rock solid. Other than the edge wear(which is mainly in the one place as I say) there are no major issues to report such as tears, scuffs or pen marks. There is little to no creasing and barely any creasing. There are some minor indentations on the back but these are fairly minor and overall I think a grading of vg+ is more than fair. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible on the sleeves condition.

It contains its original plain black inner which is in excellent+ condition. This has minimal wear and no splits, tears or pen 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 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.
