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 a few incredibly faint spindle marks visible on the labels under very bright light but there are no pen marks, scuffs or stains anywhere. The centres show little to no wear and are not loose or worn. Overall the labels are in great shape and have little to report other than the very faint spindle marks.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are nice and clean with nothing remotely serious showing. There are some wispy manufacturing lines, one small 'smudge' on side 1 and a couple of thin minor lines showing in normal light but all these 'marks' are very light and minor. There is a few more very minor thin light wispy lines visible under bright light but not loads and of course nothing sinister. So overall a used vintage record but one that is in good shape and of course has no nasty scuffs, serious marks or blemishes and has a beautiful vivid lustre

I play tested the record and it plays really well and sounded great throughout. It lays flat and upon playing there is next to no movement in the record arm. The sound produced is very clear with little to no surface noise or interference audible in the audio, and only the slightest minor hint in the run in and occasionally between some tracks. There is no distortion caused by excessive use and of course there are no skips, sticks or annoying clicks/pops. Overall it was a pleasure to play test and it produced audio of great quality and excellent clarity.

The sleeve is in near mint condition. It has next to no rubbing or wear to the edges and corners, with the writing along the spine all clearly legible. There are of course no splits and no tears, scuffs or pen marks anywhere. There is little to no creasing, barely any ring marks visible, and overall it is clean, bright, strong and in superb condition all round. It also has its original removable sticker present on the front towards the top right corner area. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible on its condition.

It includes its original picture/lyrics inner which is in near mint condition. This has no tears, splits or pen marks and next to no creasing or wear. I will of course send the record in a brand new plain white replacement to ensure no damage occurs to the original during transit.

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.
