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 has faint spindle marks and rubbing visible on the labels but there are no pen marks, scuffs or any other damage such as stains or fading. Overall the labels are clean, bright and in good shape with all text legible but do have spindle marks as mentioned. 

As for the vinyl itself, both sides have a nice lustre and have nothing major or nasty evident. There is some faint lines and marks in places however but nothing deep or that can be felt. Overall this vintage used record is just that, used. However it has not been badly neglected and is still in good playable condition with a few light lines in places but nothing major.

I play tested the record and it played tidily overall with no skips, sticks or major levels of interference. It lays flat on the deck with no serious arm movement upon playing. The audio has no major issues and is generally clear but is also not pristine with a few splutters and minor noises in places. Side 1 is generally clearer and would grade closer to 'EX'. Side 2 is much the same but for a few more minor splutters and light noises in some of the quieter parts. Overall both sides are enjoyable and there is no major problems, just a few noises and light splutters of surface noise in parts.

The non-gatefold flipback sleeve is in very good condition. It is generally solid but has a 3" split to the centre of the top edge. Other than this there is also age related discolouring to the rear and a ring mark showing to the laminated front. There is also light creasing in places and mild discolouring. Overall a solid sleeve but one that has the split and some age related wear/discolouring as outlined. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible.

It includes its original CBS inner which has no splits, tears or pen marks but has some creasing and general signs of age. 

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.
