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 very good condition. It has lots of spindle marks visible on the labels but no scuffs, pen marks or severe fading anywhere. There is minor wear to the centre holes but they are not overly worn or loose and overall the labels are bright, free of any major problems and in decent shape.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are free from anything deep or really nasty but do have light surface lines, sleeve scuffs and some minor lines of groove wear visible in normal light. There is nothing deep or sinister however but there are light marks and signs of use showing. All these lines and signs of use clearly show under bright light but again there is nothing deep or sinister evident. Despite clearly being used it still has a nice shine and is free of serious marks as I say.

I play tested the record and it plays well with very enjoyable audio and no serious issues. It lays flat, there is only a hint of movement in the record arm and the sound produced is excellent overall. It is on the whole very clear with only occasional light interference. There is some minor surface noise audible in the run in, between tracks and in the very quiet parts but this is not horrific and the majority of the audio is clear and has little audible. I heard no disruptive clicks on either side, and of course no skips or sticks. So overall a clearly used record but one that produces an enjoyable sound which is still of good quality and would grade higher audibly.

The front laminated sleeve is in very good condition. It has wear to the edges and corners(pics), but the majority of the writing along the spine is still legible. There are no splits or weak areas anywhere however and all the edges solid enough. There are no scuffs or tears anywhere on the sleeve but there is ring marks showing and creasing to both sides. This is most noticeable to the laminated front but there is also a touch on the rear. There is also some age related grubbiness to the rear and a pencil mark in the bottom right corner area. So overall a solid enough sleeve but one that has age related wear, creasing and some grubbiness as mentioned. I have tried to describe it as best I can but please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible as to its condition.

It contains a plain white poly-lined inner which is in very good+ condition with no splits or tears but mild 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.

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.

Many thanks for looking.
