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 near mint condition. It has just one or two very short and light spindle marks visible on the labels and no pen marks, scuffs or fading. The centres are not loose or worn and overall the labels are clean, bright and in great shape.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are really clean with next to nothing showing in normal light. There is still little visible under bright light with maybe the odd wispy line but not many and of course nothing remotely sinister. So overall the record is in superb condition, has no nasty scuffs, serious marks or blemishes, has a vivid lustre and shows minimal signs of use.

I play tested the record and it played really well 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 barely a trace of surface noise or interference audible. There is the most minimal amount of surface noise in the run in but the the audio itself is crisp, defined and of excellent clarity. There is no distortion caused by excessive use, and of course there are no skips, sticks or annoying clicks/pops.

The sleeve is in near mint condition and is still in its original shrink wrap. It has therefore been well preserved and shows little to no wear to the edges and corners. There is some light bruising along the record entry edges but this is only at a very minor level. There is also one small crease to the front top left corner but this is again minor and overall the sleeve is in great shape. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible on its condition.

It includes its original picture inner which is in excellent+ condition. This has no splits, tears, pen marks and next to no ring marks or creasing. There is 1" area in the centre of the bottom edge that is weakening however. I will send the record in a brand new plain white replacement to ensure no damage occurs to the original during transit.

The record will be packaged in 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.
