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 near mint condition. It has no spindle marks on the labels and no pen marks, scuffs or any other damage such as stains or fading. The centres are not loose and overall the labels are near enough immaculate.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are beautifully clean with nothing showing in normal light. There are a few incredibly minor wispy surface lines visible under very bright white light but not many at all and they are nothing remotely serious. There is also a small(1" squared) 'smudge' or 'smear' on side 2 which must be a very minor manufacturing blemish. This is the only thing noticeable on either side really, and overall the record is superb and near immaculate. It has no serious scuffs or blemishes and has a beautiful vivid shine.

I play tested the record and it plays really well with near perfect audio. It lays flat and there is only the smallest fraction of movement in the record arm. This really is very minor however and of course has no affect on the audio produced which is superb throughout. Its crisp, dynamic and really very clear with barely even a trace of surface noise in the run in or between tracks. There is no distortion caused by excessive use and of course there are no skips or sticks. There were no loud disruptive clicks or pops and overall it was a high quality audio experience and was a pleasure to play test.

The only thing to mention which I noted and was very minor was 3 clicks at the very beginning of track 1 on side 2. These are before the song really 'drops' and are in the much quieter intro. I studied the area and there are strangely no marks or anything that I can see that cause them. Never the less they are there, but luckily are really very minor, soon pass, and the audio continues in near enough perfect fashion until the end.

The sleeve is in near mint condition. It has just the slightest possible amount of wear to the edges and corners, and the writing along the spine is all clearly legible. There are of course no splits and no tears, scuffs or pen marks anywhere. There is next to no creasing and barely any ring marks visible. Overall it is clean, bright, strong and in superb condition. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible on its condition.

It includes its original plain white inner which is in near mint condition. This has no splits, tears or pen marks and little to no creasing or discolouring.

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.
