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 spindle marks visible on each label but there is no pen marks, scuffs or stains. There is some light wear around the centres but nothing severe and overall the labels are in decent condition with all text legible and no serious problems.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are free from anything deep or really major but do have lots of light wispy lines, sleeve scuffs, marks and general signs of use/age. There is a few more obvious light scratches but these cannot be felt. Overall the vinyl is not perfect visually and is clearly used. It does however have nothing life threatening or that should cause nasty tics/interference.

I play tested the record and it played well enough but also was not perfect. It lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is little to no movement in the record arm.

The audio produced is free of skips, sticks or loud prolonged annoying tics but there was some surface noise in places and the occasional minor noise. I noted some light surface noise in the run ins on each side and light splutters in the intro/riffs to side 1. There was also the occasional light noise and splutter to each side but nothing hugely disruptive or serious. Overall it plays solid enough with audio that can certainly still be enjoyed but is not pristine.

The textured gatefold sleeve is in very good+ condition. It has wear and rubbing to the edges and corners but there are no splits and it is still solid all round. There are no tears on the sleeve but there is a small pen mark to the front, in the top right corner. Below this there is also a sticker residue outline and some grubby marks. Other than these issues the sleeve also has some general age related grubbiness to both sides and some light creasing in parts. Inside the gatefold has no major issues but has some light fading and minor wear. Overall a solid sleeve with some general age related issues but no major problems. 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 plain white inner but this in fair condition with splits, grubbiness, creasing and heavy signs of age. I will send the record in a brand new plain white replacement to ensure it remains clean.

Also included is its original insert. This is in excellent condition with no tears or pen marks but some creasing to the corner and light signs of age/handling. 

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.
