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 spindle marks visible on the labels but no pen marks, scuffs or fading. There is minimal amounts of wear around the centre holes and they are not loose. Overall the labels are clean, bright and still in good shape but have spindle marks showing as mentioned. 

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are free from anything deep or nasty but there is signs of use and age on both sides. There is a few light lines and marks evident, and also lots of very light and faint manufacturing lines. These look like light scratches but are very minor manufacturing 'blemishes'. Overall the vinyl is used and is 60yrs old so is not perfect visually. Despite this it still has a nice lustre and is free of any major or really serious marks. 

I play tested the record and played tidily but was not perfect. There were no skips, sticks or disruptive clicks and it lays flat on the deck. The audio has no major faults but has light surface noise faintly audible in the music. This is not loud or extreme and I still enjoyed the whole album, but light surface noise can be heard. Overall a solid VG listen with no really major issues or extreme levels of interference but some light surface noise in the background of the music, between tracks and in the run ins.  

The front laminated flipback sleeve is in very good+ condition. It is solid all round and has no stand out issues such as tears, scuffs or pen marks. There are no splits and the spine is all clearly legible. It does have some minor laminate lifting from the front right edge area however, and also obvious discolouring to the rear. There are also a few minor creases in places and light general signs of age. 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.

It contains its original 'Use Emitex' poly-lined inner but this is tatty and has age related grubbiness/discolouring, creasing etc. The record will be sent in a brand new plain white replacement to ensure it remains clean and ready to play.

The record will 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 ensure 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.
