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 faint spindle marks visible on the labels but no pen marks or scuffs. There is wear around the centre holes however which has loosened them a little. There are not really worn though and overall the labels are still in decent shape.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are free from anything deep or nasty but there are light surface lines and clear signs of use showing. There is quite a lot of light lines to each side and the record is clearly used but again nothing deep or serious. These marks/lines clearly show under bright light along with some more wispy lines. Overall a used vintage record that has signs of this but also has no deep or major scratches. It also glows a deep red colour when held up to direct light as it is press on translucent red vinyl.

I play tested the record and it played with no skips, sticks or clicks but has some light surface noise or minor crackling in parts. It lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is little to no movement in the record arm. The audio produced is still enjoyable throughout but there is this light crackling in places. This can be heard in the run in/out, between tracks and in the quiet parts(some parts of track 1 and throughout track 3 for example). This surface noise is not horrific but also is not ideal. So overall not a pristine audio experience but one that can certainly still be enjoyed.

The gatefold sleeve is in very good+ condition. It has some wear and mild rubbing to all the edges and corners but the writing on the spine is still legible. There are no tears, scuffs or pen marks on the sleeve but there is some faint ring marks and minor creases in places. There is also a little grubbiness inside the gatefold but this minor. Overall a solid sleeve with some signs of age but no stand out problems. 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 includes its original plain white inner which has no tears but has pen marks in one corner and has also split down one edge. This has been taped however and so it is still solid and fulfils its purpose.

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.
