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 faint spindle marks visible on the labels but there are no pen marks, stains or fading. There is no scuffs anywhere and overall the labels are clean, bright and in nice shape.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides have a nice lustre and show nothing at all serious or major. There is however very faint wispy lines and mild signs of use showing when angled or under bright light. These are all minor and nothing at all sinister but there is some light signs of use as I say.

I play tested the record and it played very well throughout. It lays flat, there is no movement in the record arm and the sound produced is excellent with no distortion caused by excessive use and of course no skips, sticks or annoying clicks. There was maybe the most minor trace of surface noise but certainly nothing at all disruptive and overall it was a very enjoyable play test.

The sleeve is in excellent condition. It has only slight rubbing or wear to the edges and corners but there is a small 1cm 'flap' or nick to the right of the title on the spine. The writing along the spine is legible however and there are no splits or weak areas. There is also no tears, scuffs or pen marks anywhere but there is some light grubbiness around the edges and minor amounts of discolouring in parts. There is also a crease to the rear bottom right corner area. Overall a tidy and presentable sleeve with just a few minor issues as I have tried to outline. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible on its condition.

It includes its original picture inner which is in excellent+ condition. This has no splits, tears or pen marks and just minor discolouring and light signs of handling. 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.
