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 some spindle marks visible on each label but there are no pen marks, stains or scuffs anywhere. The centres show just minor wear and overall the labels are clean, bright and in good shape with no major issues to report, just some spindle marks.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are nice and clean overall with nothing remotely serious visible in normal light. There is some light signs of use in places however with some really faint wear, the occasional minor sleeve scuff and some really thin wispy lines. It still has a lovely lustre and has no obvious or nasty marks but has just faint signs of use in places.

I play tested the record and it played well throughout. It lays flat, there is little to no movement in the record arm and the sound produced is excellent. There was a hint of surface noise in the run ins and a touch in the quieter intro to track 1 but nothing at all major. There are no skips, sticks, clicks or pops and overall it was a pleasure to play test and it produced audio of good quality throughout.

The sleeve is in good condition. It has clear and obvious wear/damage to the top of the spine/front top left corner area. This area of damage/wear has caused a split in this area. Other than this issue there is also a sticker just to the right of it. There is also light ring marks, minor fading and some light wear to other parts of the edges. Overall not an ideal sleeve but one that is solid despite its problems to the top of the spine. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible as to its condition.

It contains its original plain white inner which is in excellent condition with no splits, tears or pen marks but some light discolouring and minor 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.
