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, scuffs or any other damage such as stains or fading. The centres are not loose or worn and overall the labels are clean, bright and in good shape but with some spindle marks as mentioned. 

As for the vinyl itself, both sides have a nice lustre and have nothing serious or deep showing in normal light. There is a few light lines however and general signs of use/age to both sides. There is nothing major or serious though but there is a few thin lines, light marks and wear. Overall it is still in good playable condition but is not pristine visually.

I play tested the record and it played well throughout with no serious issues and minimal interference. It lays flat, there is next to no movement in the record arm and the sound produced would grade as 'excellent'. There is no distortion caused by excessive use and no skips, sticks or annoying clicks. There was a few splutters and minor levels of surface noise in the run ins on both sides and the odd trace in the audio but certainly nothing extreme or disruptive. Overall it plays well and was a nice enjoyable play test free of major issues or serious interference.

The textured sleeve is in very good condition. It has wear and rubbing to the edges and corners, with also crumpling/damage to the top of the spine/corner area. There are no splits or very weak areas but the sleeve does have wear and signs of age. There is also light fading to each side and minor levels of grubbiness. Overall a solid enough sleeve with no really serious issues but one that is not perfect and has signs of its age, handling and general wear. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible.

It includes its original picture/lyrics inner which is in excellent condition. This has no splits, tears or pen marks and just very slight wear and signs of handling. I will send the record in a brand new plain white inner to ensure it remains in good shape and does not get damaged 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 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.

All offers are considered and are more than welcome.

Many thanks for looking.
