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 some spindle marks visible on each label but there are no scuffs, pen marks or major issues.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are free from anything really serious or major but do have some light lines, handling marks and signs of age/use. There is light wispy lines in places, some scuffs, minor lines and general signs of age. There is nothing that can be felt or that is very serious but the record is used and has signs of this.

I play tested the record and it played tidily throughout but was also not pristine. It lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is little to no movement in the record arm. The sound produced has no distortion caused by excessive use and no skips, sticks or annoying clicks. There was no major levels of surface noise and overall the audio was enjoyable throughout but there was some occasional light noises and minor levels of surface noise in parts. This was mostly noticeable in the run ins, between tracks and some of the much quieter passages. Overall a solid and enjoyable listen but one that is not 100% perfect.

The gatefold sleeve is in very good+ condition. It has no stand out issues and is strong all round but has some general signs of its age. It has fading and ring marks to each side, mild wear on the edges and corners, and some minor creasing around the edges. There are no tears, scuffs or pen marks and overall it is solid but has some signs of age as I have tried to outline. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible.

It contains its original plain white inner but this is showing its age with creasing, discolouring and a split to the bottom edge. The record will be sent in a brand new plain white replacement to ensure it remains clean and ready to play.

Also included is its two large fold out posters, and one of its stickers. The posters have no major issues but have some light creasing, mild discolouring in places and general signs of age. The sticker has some creasing around the corners but no tears or major problems.

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.

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.
