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 a few spindle marks visible on both 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 a few spindle marks as mentioned.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides have a nice lustre and have no serious, deep or major marks/lines. There is a few light lines and minor marks in places however. None of these are nasty or obvious but there is a few light lines and minor signs of age showing.

I play tested the record and overall it played tidily. It was a pristine listen but was still enjoyable with no serious levels of interference. It lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is next to no movement in the record arm. The vast majority of the audio produced is of good clarity and there are no skips, sticks or loud annoying prolonged tics. There was however the occasional splutter of surface noise and some minor noises in parts. None of these were majorly disruptive and for the most part the album plays well but nevertheless there was occasional light and minor noises in places and so I cant grade higher than 'EX-'.

The sleeve is in excellent- condition. It has some minor wear on the edges and corners but nothing extreme and the text along the spine is all legible. There is no pen marks, scuffs or tears on the sleeve but there is some light creasing to the laminated front and minor ring marks showing to both sides. There is also age related grubbiness and discolouring to the rear, and a small sticker removal mark to the top right corner. Overall a solid and decent sleeve for its age but one that is not perfect and has signs of use/handling/storage. I have tried to outline the sleeves issues as best I can but please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible.

It includes a poly-lined inner which is solid with no splits but has some age related grubbiness and signs of use to it. The record will therefore be sent in a brand new plain white replacement.

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.
