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.

This record is in excellent+ condition. It has just a few faint spindle marks visible on the labels but and there are no pen marks, stains or scuffs anywhere. The centres are not loose or worn and other than the few light spindle marks the labels are clean, bright and in great shape.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are in really good shape with a lovely lustre and nothing at all serious visible. There is no real scratches of note but there is some very faint 'manufacturing marks/lines' showing on each side. These are visible in certain lights and at some angles and do look like faint scuffs but are a manufacturing issue and not at all serious. Other than these faint marks there is the odd minor light surface line but nothing at all major as I say. Overall the vinyl has a nice lustre and shows no major signs of use and is in nice condition.

I play tested the record and it played really well and sounded great throughout. It lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is only the most minimal hint of upward movement in the record arm on side 1. The sound produced is excellent throughout with no tics, skips, sticks or serious issues. There is also little to no surface noise with only the most minor trace in the run in/out on each side and hint in the much quieter first track on side 2. This is mild however and overall the entire album plays very well with audio of good clarity and nice quality.

The sleeve is in near mint condition. It has next to no wear or rubbing to the edges and corners with the writing along the spine all clearly legible. There are of course no splits and no tears, scuffs or pen marks anywhere. There is little to no creasing and barely any ring marks visible. It has its original sticker present on the front and overall it is clean, bright and in superb shape all round. 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 includes its original lyrics/picture inner which is in near mint condition. This has no splits, tears or pen marks and little to no wear or creasing. I will of course send the record in a brand new plain white replacement to ensure no damage occurs to the original during transit.

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.
