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 purchased.

These records are in very good condition. There are spindle marks visible on the labels but no pen marks, scuffs or severe fading anywhere. There is some wear around the centres but overall the labels are clean, bright and in decent shape.

As for the vinyl itself, all four sides have a nice lustre but do also have light lines, scuffs and marks showing. Any marks that are there are light and cannot be felt but there is signs of use and age to each side. Overall there is signs of use to each side and the album is clearly used but there is also nothing really nasty or serious.

I play tested both the records and they played solid throughout with no really serious issues but the odd light noise or some minor interference. They lay flat on the deck with next to no movement in the record arm upon playing. The sound produced is still enjoyable on each side with no skips or sticks. I did note the following on each side however:

Side 1: A few splutters and the occasional light noise. No loud clicks and nice clarity overall. EX-

Side 2: Solid EX throughout with nothing more than the occasional light splutter of surface noise

Side 3: The odd splutter of surface noise in parts but nothing serious - EX-

Side 4: A few splutters and faint noises in early parts of track 1 and some light tics near end of track 3. Also some light noises in track 4 but these were barely even noticeable. VG+

So overall all 4 sides play tidy enough and all produce audio better than the VG visual grade. They are not pristine however as I hope I have tried to outline.

The gatefold sleeve is in very good+ condition. It has some wear to the edges and corners but the text along the spine is still legible. There are no splits or weak areas but there is some wear and signs of age. There are also no tears, scuffs or pen marks but there is some ring marks showing to each and also light creasing in parts. There is also some age related grubbiness to each side. This is more noticeable inside the gatefold however where there is some present on the left side(top and bottom area). So overall a solid sleeve but one that has some signs of age and grubbiness as mentioned. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible to its condition.

It contains two plain white inners(one must a replacement as both are slightly different) which are both solid with no splits. Both do have some creasing and light grubbiness however. One also has a tear to the central window on one side.

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.

All offers are considered and are more than welcome.

Many thanks for looking.
