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. The labels have no spindle marks visible in normal light, but inspection under very bright light shows there is tiny, light signs around the very edge of the centres. There are no pen marks, scuffs or any fading anywhere and overall the labels are in superb condition.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are beautifully clean and near spotless in normal light. There are even only a few incredibly light wispy lines and light marks visible under very bright white light. These minor wispy lines really are sparse and of course there is nothing remotely serious. The record has no nasty scuffs or blemishes and has a beautiful vivid shine.

I play tested the record and it plays near perfectly. It lays completely flat, there is virtually no movement in the record arm and the sound produced is superb. Its crisp, clear and defined, with only the most minuscule trace of surface noise in the run in and very occasionally between tracks. This surface noise or interference really is minor however and is more just the sound of vinyl, which even records just out the packet have. There are obviously no skips, sticks or clicks and no other serious musical issues. Its a musical experience of very high quality and was a pleasure to play test such an iconic album with such defined audio clarity.

The sleeve is in very good+ condition. It has only very slight wear to the edges and the writing along the spine is all clearly legible. All the edges are strong with no splits or weak areas and the corners are pretty sharp with only minor 'bruising. The sleeve has no tears, scuffs or pen marks anywhere and next to no creasing or ring marks. There is a small dent on the rear towards the bottom left corner however. Other than this, and the sleeves main issue, is that there is age related discolouring/grubbiness on both sides. This is noticeable on the 'white surround' and is seen mainly as yellow spots. So overall a strong sleeve with minimal wear, but one that has this age related discolouring hence lower grading. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible on the sleeves condition.

It contains its original picture inner(flat corners) which is in excellent+ condition. This has no splits, tears or pen marks and next to no creasing. or ring marks. There is the slightest hint of discolouring/grubbiness in places but nothing on the same level as the sleeve.

The original postcard insert(which is not pictured above) is included and is in near mint condition. This has no tears, pen marks or any real signs of use.

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.
