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 does have spindle marks visible on each label but there are no pen marks, stains or scuffs anywhere. There is no major wear around the centres and overall the labels are clean, bright and in tidy condition but with spindle marks as mentioned. 

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are free from anything major or nasty but do have some signs of use. There is some light sleeve marks/scuffs in places, a few light thin lines and minor light signs of age showing. These are all very light but can be seen when angled or under bright light. Overall a tidy and good playable copy with a nice lustre and no major issues but some signs of age and handling.

I play tested the record and it played well overall with no major issues or serious levels of interference. It lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is little to no arm movement. The sound produced is a solid grade of excellent- with no skips, sticks or loud annoying tics. There was some slight surface noise in the run ins on each side and the odd light splutter in some places but nothing major or disruptive. I also noted some splutters in the intro to side 2 and also two 'pops' halfway into track 2 on side 2. These were brief however but were caused by a small 8mm line. Overall it plays tidily however, with no major levels of interference and it was an enjoyable listen throughout.

The fully laminated sleeve is in excellent- condition. It has just light wear and slight rubbing to the edges and corners. All the text along the spine is still legible and there are no splits or weak areas. There are also no scuffs, pen marks or tears on the sleeve but there is light ring marks showing to both sides. There is also a minor amount of creasing in places and general mild signs of age/handling. 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 EMI inner which is in very good condition with no splits or tears but with some creasing, age related discolouring and a pen mark to one side. The record will be sent in a brand new plain white replacement to ensure it remains clean and ready to play. 

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.

Many thanks for looking.
