  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 some 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 are free of serious issues. It has some faint and minor lines in places however and some light general signs of use and age. There is also a couple of minor superficial 'mottled' areas. These issues are all light and minor but are a signs of use and age, so I have graded at EX- which I think is fair and accurate.

I play tested the record and it played tidily throughout. It lays flat on the deck and there is little to no movement in the record arm upon playing. The sound produced is excellent with no distortion caused by excessive use and no skips, sticks or annoying clicks. There was a light amount of surface noise in the run ins on each side and a hint in the intro to side 1 but the vast majority of play has little audible. Overall a solid and enjoyable listen with no major issues and tidy audio quality.

The sleeve is in very good+ condition. It has no major issues such as tears, scuffs or pen marks and is solid all round. It has no major wear(light 'creasing' showing in places) on the edges and corners with the spine legible. It does have some age related discolouring and ring marks showing to each side however. There is also some creasing around the front top left corner area, and minor general signs of age to each side. I have tried to describe the sleeve as best I can but please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible.

Its original inner was missing and so the record will be sent in a brand new plain white replacement inner. 

There is no poster included(not all copies were issued with one).

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.
