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 only a few very faint spindle marks visible on each label and no pen marks, stains or scuffs anywhere There is minimal wear to the centre holes, these are not worn or loose, and overall the labels are clean, bright and in great shape.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are clean overall and have nothing remotely serious showing in normal light. There is some very thin, faint light wispy lines and the occasional light sleeve scuff but nothing at all sinister. These minor light signs of use do show under bright light, along with a few more wispy lines and some faint 'blotchy areas' but there is again nothing sinister. So overall a used vintage UK 1st press record which is in very good shape overall and has no nasty scuffs, serious marks or blemishes but has light signs of use.

I play tested the record and it played very well and produced very enjoyable audio of good quality throughout. 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 and has little to no interference of any sort. 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 occasionally a trace between some tracks but on the whole it is clear, crisp and of high quality. It was a very enjoyable play test and produced audio of good quality which was free of any real interference.

The sleeve is in very good+ condition. It has wear and rubbing to the edges and corners but the writing along the spine is still legible. The worst of the wear occurs on the top edge where there is a 2" area in the centre(pics). This is not a split however but is clearly noticeable. There are no tears, scuffs or pen marks anywhere and no serious issues with creasing or ring marks. There is however a few very minor short creases and some general light grubbiness or 'age scuffing' to the rear. Overall it is clean, bright and strong all round but with some age related wear 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 on its condition.

It includes its original lyrics inner which is in excellent+ condition. This is solid with no tears, splits or pen marks but has minor creasing, ring marks and slight wear.

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.
