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 near mint condition. It has just a couple of incredibly faint spindle marks visible on the labels and no pen marks, scuffs or staining. There is next to no wear around the centre holes and overall the labels are clean, bright and in superb condition.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are really clean with next to nothing showing in normal light. There is a couple of very light 'sleeve scuffs' visible when angled in normal light but these are not deep, are very soft and are very minor indeed. There are a few more incredibly light wispy lines visible under very bright light but not many and of course nothing remotely sinister. So overall the record free is from anything remotely serious, has a beautiful lustre and has only very slight signs of use to its playing surfaces.

I play tested the record and it plays really well. It lays flat and there is next to no movement in the record arm upon playing. The sound produced is excellent with no serious issues and next to no surface noise or interference. There are no skips, sticks or disruptive clicks and overall it was a thoroughly enjoyable play test with clear audio of great quality. It was free of any major issues and had really minimal amounts of interference in general, with just the most odd occasional trace amount in the odd very quiet section. On the whole it was an absolute pleasure to play test with side 2 playing near perfectly.

The laminated sleeve is in near mint condition. It has little to no rubbing or wear to the edges and corners with the writing on the spine all clearly legible. The sleeve remains rock solid and the spine is square and straight. There are of course no splits or weak areas anywhere and no tears, scuffs or pen marks. There is only very faint ring marks showing(when angled) and just a few minor creases in the laminate. Overall a really nice sleeve with no major issues and only very slight signs of its age. I have also 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 plain white inner which is in excellent condition. It has no splits, tears or pen marks but does some slight age related discolouring and minor creasing.

It also includes its original lyrics insert which is in excellent+ condition with slight signs of handling but nothing major at all.

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.
