  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 a few faint spindle marks visible on the labels but there are no pen marks, scuffs or any other damage such as stains or fading. Overall the labels are clean, bright and in nice condition.

As for the vinyl itself both sides have a nice lustre and no heavy marks or serious scratches. It has some faint and superficial blotchy/streaky marks in places and a few slight thin lines but nothing deep, serious or major. Overall it shows light signs of use and is used but has nothing nasty or extreme.

I play tested the record and it played tidily overall with no major issues but has some light surface noise in some of the quieter sections. It lays flat on the deck and there is little to no movement in the record arm upon playing. It has no skips, sticks or annoying clicks and was still very enjoyable throughout but there was very light surface noise audible in the run ins on each side and in the quiet parts(early stages track 3, between tracks, last track side 1, etc). Overall a vintage record with no heavy signs of use or nasty scratches and on that plays through tidily but with some light surface noise in the quieter sections.

The gatefold sleeve is in excellent condition. It has no serious issues such as tears, scuffs or pen marks and is solid all round. It has just a fraction of rubbing/wear on the edges and corners and the spine is all clearly legible. There are no obvious ring marks and no serious creasing. There is some fading to the front however and also some age related discolouring on the spine and rear. Overall a solid and presentable sleeve with no major issues but one that has some fading and discolouring as outlined. 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 includes its original textured lyric inner which is solid with no splits, tears or scuffs. It does have ring marks showing however and also some creasing to it. It also has pen marks(lyrics) written in two places on side 1. It also has light discolouring to it. Overall it is solid and tidy and would probably be a solid VG+ grade. The record will of course be sent in a brand new plain white replacement inner to ensure no damage occurs to the original.

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.
