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 good shape but with some faint spindle marks as mentioned.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides have a lovely vivid lustre and have nothing at all serious showing. There is a few faint and thin lines in places however and the occasional very light wispy line or sleeve mark. It also has a very small 'lip' on the outer edge of the record(see pics). This is only very slight and does not affect the tracks themselves, just the tip of the run in. Overall the vinyl has a very nice lustre and nothing at all major to report but has a few light lines in places and the slight 'lip' as mentioned.

I play tested the record and it played nicely with no serious issues or major levels of interference. It lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is little to no upward movement in the record arm. The 'lip' mentioned above has no serious affect but does give the record a slightly strange 'spin' and is a minor visual issue.

The sound produced is a solid grade of excellent throughout with no distortion caused by excessive use and no skips, sticks or annoying clicks. There was maybe a light trace of surface noise in the run ins and intros but nothing at all major or disruptive. I also noted a light trace of spluttering in the quiet intro of track 5 on side 1 but this was again only very minor. Overall it was an enjoyable play test and produced audio of good clarity that would be a solid grade of 'EX' audibly.

The sleeve is in near mint condition. It has only very light wear to the edges and corners with the text along the spine all clearly legible. There are no tears, scuffs or pen marks on the sleeve and next to no ring marks showing. There is also very little creasing or age related grubbiness/discolouring. Overall the sleeve is clean, bright and in very nice condition with only the most minor signs of age and storage. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible on its condition.

It includes its original plain white inner which is in very good+ condition. This has no splits, tears or pen marks but has signs of age with discolouring, ring marks and creasing.

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.
