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 a few light spindle marks visible on the labels but no pen marks, scuffs or any other damage such as stains or fading. The centres are not loose and overall the labels are in great shape with just the spindle marks to report.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are really clean have a vivid gloss and have little clearly visible in normal light. There is a couple of thin minor light lines but other than these the record is very clean in normal light. There are a few more incredibly minor wispy lines visible under very bright white light, but not a drastic amount and again nothing remotely serious. The record has no nasty scuffs or serious blemishes and has a beautiful vivid shine.

I play tested the record and it plays really well. It lays flat but there is a slight hint or fraction of upward movement in the record arm.This is very minor however and of course has no affect on the sound produced which is superb on both sides. Its crisp, dynamic and really clear with only the most minimal trace of surface noise in the run in and very occasionally between some tracks. There is little to no distortion caused by excessive use and of course there are no skips, sticks or annoying clicks/pops. It was a quality audio experience and was a pleasure to play test such a great New Wave classic with such a clear defined sound.

The iconic sleeve is in excellent condition. It has little wear to the edges and corners, but the writing along the spine is all clearly legible. All the edges are strong with no splits or weak areas anywhere and the edge wear is no more than some rubbing in places really. There are no tears or pen marks anywhere and it has its original sticker on the front. It has slight ring mark visible on both sides and a few minor creases but nothing severe. There is however a faint sticker removal mark and small scuff on the front in the top right corner(pics). So overall a clean, bright sleeve which is strong and has no really serious issues. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible on its condition.

It includes its original  lyric/picture inner which is in excellent+ condition. This has no splits, tears or pen marks but a little wear and very slight creasing.

Also included is its original 12 page insert/booklet. This is also in excellent+ condition with no tears, pen marks or serious issues to report. There is some very slight creasing to the tip or corners but overall it is in great shape.

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.
