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.

These records are in excellent condition. All four labels do have some light spindle marks visible, but not a drastic amount and no pen marks or scuffs. There is however some fading on the labels in places. The centres are not loose or worn and overall the labels are in good shape but with the fading and spindle marks as mentioned. 

As for the vinyl itself, all four sides have nothing serious evident with just minor sleeve scuffing and some light surface lines visible in normal light. When viewed under very bright light these signs of use clearly show along with very minor light wispy lines. None of the sides have any major scratches however and all still have a lovely lustre. There are no serious marks, nasty scuffs or blemishes and overall I think a grading of VG+ is fair with just light sleeve scuffs and minor surface lines showing.

I play tested both records and they played well overall. Record one plays flat and there is next to no movement in the record arm. The audio produced is very enjoyable and has no major issues such as skips or sticks. There was a short series of faint ticks in track 2 on side 2 but these were pretty minor. Other than these and the occasional pop record 1 played very well with enjoyable audio and minimal interference.

Record 2 lays flat on the deck but upon playing it has a minor 'bob' noticeable in the record arm.  This is fairly minor and of course has no affect on the audio produced which is much the same as record 1. That is free of major issues and really serious interference. There is some minor light surface noise in places and the light pop or sporadic click but nothing majorly disruptive.

Overall I enjoyed all 24 tracks and the whole play test went well with no major issues and only minor occasional interference.

The gatefold sleeve is in excellent condition. It has slight wear to the edges and corners(pics), but the writing along the spine is all clearly legible. It is clean, bright and there are no tears, scuffs or pen marks anywhere. There are no major creases anywhere and it only has very mild ring marks showing. It does however have some very slight discolouring inside the gatefold and a hint to the front and rear. There is also some faint pen indentations on the front. There are a lot of these but they are faint and are only visible at certain angles. So overall a strong, bright sleeve with no major issues but some minor age related wear and minor issues as mentioned. I have tried to describe the sleeve as best I can but  please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible as to its condition.

It contain two plain white inners. These are both in a similar state with no splits, tears or pen marks but with some creasing and age related grubbiness/discolouring. I would grade both the inners at vg+.

Also included is a single sided picture insert. This is in excellent condition with no tears or pen marks and no major creasing 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 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.
