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 very good condition. It does have faint spindle marks visible on each label but there is no pen marks, scuffs, stains or heavy wear to the centres. Overall the labels show some light signs of use but also have no serious issues.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides have some light scratches and marks to them. It still has a nice lustre and there is nothing really nasty or that can be felt but there is clear signs of use with light marks, lines, scuffs and wear in places. Overall a used vintage lp that has signs of this but is also still in good playable condition with no major or sinister marks.

I play tested the record and it played nicely throughout. It lays flat on the deck and upon playing there was little to no movement noticeable in the record arm. The audio produced was closer to a grade of 'EX' with no skips, sticks or annoying clicks. There was maybe the odd light amount of surface noise but on the whole all this surface noise was very minor, and not at a level to be disruptive. Overall I enjoyed the play test from start to finish and it played through producing audio of good quality which more than does this classic record justice.

The textured sleeve is in very good condition. It has wear and rubbing to the edges and corners. This is mostly found along the top and bottom edges, with the spine showing some but less overall. Despite the wear and rubbing to the edges the sleeve is solid with no splits or weak areas. There is also no tears, scuffs or pen marks and only minor levels of creasing or slight ring marks. There is some slight grubbiness to the white areas on the rear however. Overall a solid sleeve with no really serious issues but the wear to the edges and light grubbiness as mentioned. 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 its original textured picture inner which is in excellent+ condition. This has no splits, tears or pen marks and looks great with minimal wear. I will 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 between 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.

Many thanks for looking.
