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 successful.

These records are in very good condition. All four labels have spindle marks visible, but no pen marks or any other damage. As for the vinyl itself, sides 1,3 and 4 are clean with little visible in normal light. Side 2 unfortunately has a long scratch across one side(see pics). This scratch can be felt in parts and its impact on the sound will be described below. Other than this side 2 is clean, although it and all the other sides do have a few incredibly light wispy lines visible under very bright white light. The records have no scuffs or blemishes and have a beautiful shine.

I play tested both records and did encounter a couple of problems. Firstly both records have small storage warps which cause a 'bob' in the record arm. These are more of a visual problem however and have no affect on the sound quality. The second problem is the scratch on side 2. This causes light clicks for most of this side. This is very unfortunate as the rest of the side has no issues and would have little interference if it weren't for these clicks, which although not disastrous are audible. Sides 3 and 4 play well with next to no serious interference and sound great. Side 1 also plays well but does have a series of faint clicks in track 4, but these are light and not massively noticeable. So to clarify the main issues with this record are the small storage warps which cause 'bobs' in the record arm and a long scratch to side 2 which causes light clicks on my system. Due to these problems the record will be priced accordingly.

The gatefold sleeve is in excellent condition. It has slight wear to the edges and corners(pics), but the writing along the spine is all clearly legible. It is clean, bright and has a strong spine. There are no tears, scuffs or pen marks anywhere, and inside the gatefold is in great shape. There are however extremely faint ring marks showing on the front and back. It contains both its original plain white inners in excellent+ condition, with no splits or major damage.

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 ensure 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.
