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 faint spindle marks visible on the labels but there are no pen marks, scuffs, fading or staining anywhere. The centres show no serious wear and are not loose or worn. Overall the labels are clean, bright and in nice condition but with the faint spindle marks as mentioned.  

As for the vinyl itself, both sides have a nice lustre and show nothing nasty or major. There is some light wispy lines showing in places however and some minor and general light handling marks/lines. These are all light and cannot be felt but can be seen lightly when angled or under bright light. Overall a used vintage lp with some signs of this but also nothing nasty or major evident.

I play tested the record and it plays tidily throughout with no major issues or serious levels of interference. It lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is minimal arm movement. The audio has no skips, sticks or loud annoying tics and was enjoyable throughout. It has some light surface noise in the run ins and intros to the first track on both sides but the majority of play is of good clarity. I did also notice a little minor spluttering on side 2 in the early stages of track 4 and between some tracks. Overall a solid listen with no major levels of interference and good clarity on the whole but also the odd trace of surface noise and minor splutter in parts.

The gatefold sleeve is in excellent condition. It is generally tidy with no splits, tears, scuffs or pen marks. It does have some rubbing to the edges, spine and corners however. This is not at an extreme level and the spine is still legible but there is light rubbing present, with slightly more showing on the top edges. There is only a few minor creases and no obvious or serious ring marks. There is hardly any fading or grubbiness and overall it is strong and tidy sleeve with just general age related issues as outlined. 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.r

It includes its original rounded corner red lyric inner which is in excellent condition. It has no splits or major issues but has some wear to the edges and mild signs of age/handling. The record will be sent in a brand new plain white inner to ensure no damage occurs to the original during transit. 

The record will then be packaged in between 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.
