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.

This record is in excellent+ condition. It has no spindle marks visible on the labels and no pen marks, scuffs or fading anywhere. The centre is tight and overall the labels are immaculate.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are very clean with only one or two very light lines just visible in normal light. There are a few more incredibly light wispy lines and a couple of extremely minor sleeve removal scuffs visible under very bright white light but of course nothing remotely serious. The record has no serious scuffs or blemishes and has a beautiful vivid shine. 

I play tested the record and it plays really well. It lays flat, there is next to no movement in the record arm and the sound produced superb. Its crisp, clear and has virtually no background or surface noise other than a trace in the run in. There are obviously no skips, sticks, annoying clicks or any serious issues. Its a quality audio experience and was a pleasure to play test.

The sleeve is in excellent+ condition. It has slight wear/rubbing to the edges and corners(pics), but the writing along the spine is legible. It is clean, bright and has a strong spine. There are no tears or pen marks anywhere, but there is a tiny 1cm scuff on the bottom front edge(central area). Other than this there is little to report with just very mild ring marks showing and barely any creasing.

It contains its original lyrics inner in near mint condition with no splits or any other issues.

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.

All offers are considered and are more than welcome.

Many thanks for looking.
