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 successful.

This record is in very good condition. It has spindle marks visible on the labels but no pen marks, scuffs or stains. There is only minor wear around the centre holes and these are not loose or worn but there is some light fading around the centre of side 1. Overall the labels are free of any major issues but have some spindle marks and the light amount of fading as mentioned. 

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are free from anything deep or very serious but there is clear sign of use with light wispy lines, some light scratches and general signs of use and age. Overall the vinyl is visually not perfect and shows signs of use to both sides but also has nothing really nasty or major.

I play tested the record and it played well but was also not a perfect listen. It lays flat and there is little to no movement in the record arm upon playing. The sound produced is free of skips, sticks or loud annoying tics but there is some surface noise in the quieter parts, intros and most noticeably the introduction to side 1. The intro to the album is quite quiet and this has surface noise, crackle and splutters audible until the music 'really begins'. This opening passage is the heaviest of any interference however. Other than this the record plays with some other milder surface noise in quiet parts and between tracks. Any music of any volume plays well however with little audible. Overall it is still a very enjoyable listen but does have crackles at the very beginning and in some of the softer parts.

The sleeve is in excellent condition. It has only slight rubbing or wear to the edges and corners but there is a smaller area of 'nibbling' at the top of the spine(see pics). Other than this area there is no major areas of wear and it is still tidy all round. There are no tears, scuffs or pen marks on the sleeve and no major ring marks. There is a few minor creases around the edges but nothing extreme and overall the sleeve is excellent. 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 lyric/picture inner which is in excellent+ condition with no splits, tears or serious creasing or ring marks. I will send the record in a brand new plain white sleeve.

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 ensure 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.
