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.

These records are in excellent condition. There are a few spindle marks on each label but no scuffs, pen marks, stains or fading anywhere. 

As for the vinyl itself both records have a lovely lustre and show nothing obvious or major. There is a few light and faint lines showing however when inspected closely. It has a thin light line across side 2(see pics, although it looks worse in photo) and a few other similar, but shorter thin light lines. Overall both record are excellent with no major or heavy marks, a lovely shine but some light lines and minor signs of age/use.

I play tested both the records and they both played well with enjoyable audio throughout. They both lay flat with little to no movement in the record arm upon playing. The sound produced on all four sides is free of skips, jumps or annoying clicks. The audio on all four sides is a solid grade of EX with no major issues and good clarity. I did hear 3 light pops in the first 2 or 3 seconds of side 3 but these were light and at the very very start. Other than these there was maybe the odd fraction of surface noise, but certainly nothing major or disruptive. Overall a nice clean listen throughout.  

The sleeve is in excellent condition. It is solid all round with no splits and has just minor wear/bruising to the edges and corners. There are no pen marks, tears or major issues but there is a couple of small dents to the rear bottom area. There is also light age related discolouring to both sides and a mild partial ring stain showing to the rear. I have tried to describe the sleeve as best I can but please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible.

It contains both its original picture inners which are in very good+ condition. Both are solid with no splits, tears or pen marks but both have ring marks and some age spots/discolouring in places. Both records will be sent in brand new plain white inners to ensure no further wear occurs to the originals.

Also included is the picture insert. This is in very good+ condition with some signs of age and again a few age spots but no major issues.

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.
