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 some spindle marks and light rubbing visible on each label but there are no pen marks or stains anywhere. The centres show just minor wear and are not worn or loose. Overall the labels are in decent shape with no major issues to report but the light rubbing to each side as mentioned.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides have nothing serious visible but there is some light lines and signs of use showing lightly in normal light. These are faint and minor but are a sign of use and can be seen when angled in places. These and a few more incredibly light wispy lines are visible under very bright light but again nothing remotely serious or sinister. The record has no serious scuffs, nasty deep marks or blemishes and still has a nice lustre but does have light lines and signs of use in places.

I play tested the record and it played well with very nice audio throughout. It lays flat, there is little to no movement in the record arm and the sound produced is a strong grade of excellent with little to no surface noise or interference audible. There was a trace in the run in but nothing at all major and the vast majority of the audio is crisp, clear and of good quality. There are no skips, sticks, clicks or pops and overall it was a pleasure to listen to and would easily grade as VG+ audibly.

The gatefold sleeve is in very good+ condition. It has light wear to the edges and corners but the text along the spine all still legible. There are no splits anywhere and the sleeve as a whole is still solid. There are no tears, scuffs or pen marks anywhere and no serious ring marks. There is a little minor creasing in parts however and also some general age related grubbiness to the front and back. Other than these issues there is also a few minor indentations on each side. All these issues are fairly minor and the sleeve still looks tidy enough but with some signs of age/handling as outlined. I have graded at VG+, which I think is fair and accurate. I have tried to describe the sleeve as best I can but please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible as to its condition.

It contains a plain white inner which has no splits, tears or pen marks and no serious creasing or discolouring.

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.

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.
