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

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are beautifully clean and near spotless in normal light. There is still little visible under bright light with just a few minor wispy lines showing, but of course nothing remotely sinister. So overall the record is in superb condition, has no scuffs, marks or blemishes and has a lovely vivid lustre.

I play tested the record and it plays really well and sounded superb throughout. It lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is little to no movement in the record arm. The sound produced is excellent throughout and is really clear with barely a trace of surface noise or interference audible in the audio.There is a minor amount in the run in/out but overall it is really clear and very defined. There is no distortion caused by excessive use and of course there are no skips, sticks or annoying clicks. I heard a couple of light pops at the end of track 1 on side 2 and 2 others in track 3 on side 2, but these were faint and this was it on both sides combined. Overall it was a superb play test and produced audio of high quality and excellent clarity.

The sleeve is in excellent+ condition. It has just a minor amount of rubbing/wear to the edges and corners, and the majority of the writing along the spine is legible. There are of course no splits and no tears, scuffs or pen marks anywhere. There is no major creasing and little to no discolouring but there is some very faint ring marks or slight fading in places. There is also a sticker on the front in the top right corner which may possibly be removable if careful, but I didnt try. Overall it is clean, strong and in good shape all round with no major problems. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible on its condition.

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

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 try to ensure a 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.
