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 just a few very faint spindle marks visible on the labels and there are no pen marks, scuffs or any other damage such as stains or fading. The centres show some wear but are not loose or worn and overall the labels are in great shape.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are very clean with nothing remotely serious showing and actually very little visible in normal light. There is the odd minor wispy line and but nothing serious as I say. These light lines and a few more slight signs of use show under bright light but not a drastic amount and again nothing sinister. There is nothing serious on either side and overall the record is in great shape shape. It has no nasty scuffs, serious marks or blemishes, has a lovely vivid shine and overall is very clean indeed.

I play tested the record and it plays really well and produces very enjoyable audio of good quality. It lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is next to no movement in the record arm. The sound produced is excellent throughout with no major issues at all and little to no surface noise or interference audible in the actual audio. There is the most minimal amount possible in the run in and between tracks but overall it plays great with the vast majority completely free of surface noise. There is no distortion caused by excessive use and of course there are no skips, sticks or disruptive clicks. Overall it was a pleasure to play test and produced audio of high quality.

The gatefold sleeve is in very good condition. It has rubbing and wear to the edges and corners, and the writing along the spine although just about legible is tricky to read. There are no splits however and overall the sleeve is strong all round. There are no tears or pen marks anywhere but there is clear ring marks showing on both sides and also considerable fading throughout. There is also some minor creasing in places but overall its main issues are the fading and edge wear. 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 includes its original info inner which is in excellent+ condition. This has no tears, splits or pen marks and only very minor creasing and faint 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.
