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 spindle marks/scratches visible around the centre of each label and there is also a longer scratch across the label of side 1. There are no pen marks on either side however and the centres are not loose. Overall the labels are in good shape with no really major issues but the spindle marks/scratches as mentioned.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are free from anything remotely deep but do have a few area of light groove wear and some slight surface lines showing in normal light. None of these 'issues' are major or serious however and really it is just the light patches of minor groove wear that show. This and some light wispy lines, some minor 'sleeve scuffs' and general light signs of use are visible under bright light but there is again nothing sinister. So overall a used record which is in good shape overall and has no nasty scuffs, serious marks or blemishes but has mild signs of use and patches of light groove wear.

I play tested the record and it played very well and produced very enjoyable audio. It lays flat, there is only a minor amount of movement in the record arm and the sound produced is free of any major issues. There is no distortion caused by excessive use and no skips, sticks or annoying clicks. There is a touch of minor surface noise in the run in/out and the quiet intro to side 1 but on the whole it is clear, crisp and of great quality. Overall it was a very enjoyable play test and produced audio of good quality which was free of any major problems.

The gatefold sleeve is in very good+ condition. It has age related rubbing and wear to the edges and corners but the writing along the spine is still all clearly legible. There are no splits or weak areas anywhere but there is some rubbing to all edges. This is the sleeves main issue and other than this there is nothing major to report. There is some minor creases emanating from the spine and edges and a slight ring mark on the rear but nothing horrific. Inside the gatefold has no serious issues with just some faint fading in places. Overall a strong, clean sleeve with no major issues but some age related edge wear and faint ring mark. I have tried to describe the sleeve as best I can but 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 excellent condition. This has no tears, splits or pen marks but does have a little creasing, slight discolouring and minor 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.
