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 quite a lot of spindle marks visible on each label but there are no pen marks, scuffs or any other damage such as stains or fading. The centres show only light wear and are not loose or worn. Overall the labels are clean, bright and in goood shape but with the spindle marks as mentioned.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are visually very clean, have a lovely lustre and have nothing that appears serious or nasty showing in normal light. There is a few faint lines and minor sleeve 'scuffs' showing in places but nothing extreme. Overall the record is in nice shape, has a lovely lustre but does show some signs of use.

I play tested the record and it played really well overall and was a very enjoyable listen. It lays flat, there is only the most minor hint of movement in the record arm and the sound produced is excellent overall. There is no distortion caused by excessive use and of course no skips or sticks. There is however one period of interference on the album. This occurs near the very end of track 2 on side 2 in the very quiet ending to this track. There is a small mark(3mm) that causes light ticks for around 15-20 turns(I counted 16). These are light ticks but they can clearly be heard as they occur in such a quiet part(the very end) of the track. Other than these the record played really well with solid EX+ audio for the majority. I have graded at EX- due to these light ticks which I think is fair considering the rest of the album plays very well.

The gatefold sleeve is in excellent condition. It has some wear and rubbing to the edges(mostly on bottom edges) and corners but the writing along the spine is all still legible. There are no splits, tears, scuffs or pen marks anywhere and there is little to no creasing. There is only very faint ring marks evident but there is some light areas of grubbiness in places. These can be seen near the rear edges and slightly in side the gatefold but are not extreme and overall the sleeve is excellent. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible.

It includes its original plain white inner which is in excellent+ condition. This has no splits, tears or pen marks and only a hint of minor creasing.

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.
