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 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 good shape but with some spindle marks as mentioned. 

As for the vinyl itself, both sides have nothing serious or deep present but do have light wispy lines, faint sleeve marks and general light handling marks on both sides. There is nothing nasty or serious but there is signs of use to both sides as I say. Overall a used vintage lp with some signs of use and age but nothing major or deep.  

I play tested the record and it played tidily 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. I did notice a small amount of surface noise and minor splutters in the run ins and a hint in the occasional intro but there was nothing disruptive or major. Overall it was enjoyable throughout with no major levels of interference. 

The gatefold sleeve is in excellent+ condition. It has very little wear or rubbing to the edges and corners with the writing along the spine all legible. There are no splits, tears, scuffs or pen marks and just a few minor creases. There is some light age related discolouring around the edges however and some faint age spots showing lightly inside the gatefold. There are no major issues however and the sleeve is generally tidy with just the light discolouring/age spots as mentioned. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible.

Its contains its original plain white inner which is in excellent- condition with no splits or major issues but some discolouring, creasing and general signs of age. 

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 try to ensure a swift delivery.
