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 no obvious spindle marks on the labels(incredibly faint possibly?) and no pen marks, scuffs or serious staining. There is little to no wear around the centre holes and overall the orange RCA labels are clean, bright and in great shape.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are very clean with nothing remotely serious showing, but a few very light 'sleeve scuffs' faintly visible in normal light or when tilted. These are not deep, are very soft and are minor. There are a few more incredibly light wispy lines visible under very bright white light and some slight signs of use to both sides but again nothing remotely sinister. So overall a used vintage record free from anything remotely serious, that has a lovely shine but has a few very faint light surface 'scuffs' to either side.

I play tested the record and it plays really well with excellent audio throughout. It lays flat and there is little to no movement in the record arm upon playing. The sound produced is excellent with no serious issues and minimal amounts of surface noise or interference. The vast majority of the record has little to no surface noise audible with just a trace in the run in and between some tracks. There are no skips, sticks or disruptive clicks and I heard no pops throughout either side. Overall it was a thoroughly enjoyable play test with clear and defined audio of good quality which was free of any major issues and had minimal interference.

The sleeve is in very good condition. It has wear and rubbing to the edges and corners with the writing on the spine now no longer all legible. Despite this clear edge wear the sleeve remains solid and there are no splits or really weak areas anywhere. There are no tears, scuffs or pen marks anywhere but there is clear and obvious ring marks showing on both sides. There is also some mild creasing in places, slight fading and general age related wear. I have tried my best to explain the sleeves condition but please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible on its condition.

It contains its original lyrics inner which is in excellent condition. It has no splits, tears or pen marks but does some creasing and ring marks. I will send the record in a brand new plain white replacement to ensure no damage occurs to the original during transit.

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 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.

All offers are considered and are more than welcome.

Many thanks for looking.
