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 each label 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 nice shape.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides have a lovely lustre and have nothing serious or major showing. There is a few minor faint lines and minor signs of use/age showing but nothing sinister. So overall the record is in good shape with a few light lines and some signs of use but nothing nasty or serious.

I play tested the record and it played well throughout. It lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is little to no movement in the record arm. The sound produced is excellent with no distortion caused by excessive use and no skips, sticks or annoying clicks. There was no serious surface noise and overall the audio quality was excellent. There was maybe a fraction in the run ins and between some tracks but certainly not much and overall it was very enjoyable throughout. 

The sleeve is in excellent condition. It is generally tidy all round with no splits, tears, scuffs or pen marks. There is a few minor creases however and also a 1" area of wear to the centre of the top edge. This is not a split but is noticeable(see pics). Other than this area there is only light wear to the edges/corners, with the spine all legible. There is slight ring marks showing to the rear and minor general signs of age/storage but nothing extreme. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible.

Its contains its original picture inner which is in excellent+ condition. This is in really nice condition with no splits or major issues and hardly any creasing. It has one crease/ fold to the tip of one flipback however. The record will be sent in a brand new plain white replacement inner to ensure no damage occurs to the original during transit. 

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.
