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 some spindle marks visible on the labels but there are no pen marks or scuffs. There is minor yellow staining or light discolouring around the centres but this is pretty minor. Overall the labels are in good shape but with the few spindle marks and light grubbiness as mentioned.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides have a lovely lustre and show no deep or nasty scratches. There is however some signs of use with a few thin light lines in places and the odd 'mottled' or blotchy mark. There is also an area of scuffing or marking to track 2 on side 2. This is the most noticeable issue on the lp but cannot be felt. Despite looking fairly grim it is not a major mark. Overall it has just light signs of use but does have some light lines and the scuff to side 2 as mentioned.

I play tested the record and it played well. It lays flat on the deck and there is little to no movement in the record arm upon playing. The sound produced has no skips or sticks and no loud disruptive clicks. There was the odd light splutter of surface noise in places, the occasional noise or pop and light general interference in parts. I found none of this at a level to be disruptive however and overall it plays well and was a very enjoyable listen. The scuff mentioned above has little affect on play and I noted just a couple of pops in track 2 on side 2, with the general audio excellent.

The sleeve is in very good+ condition. It has some wear and rubbing to the edges but is still strong all round with no splits, tears or major issues. The text on the spine is still just about legible but it has some wear and rubbing on  it. Other than the edge wear the sleeve has no pen marks, scuffs or heavy levels of creasing. There is light creasing in places, minor ring marks and a hint of grubbiness in places but nothing extreme or major. Overall a solid sleeve with no major issues but some general age related storage issues as mentioned. 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 contains its original plain white inner which is in very good+ condition. It has no splits, tears or pen marks but has some age related grubbiness, age spots and light 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 within 24hrs of receiving payment to try to ensure a swift delivery.
