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 couple of spindle marks on the labels and no pen marks, scuffs or any other major damage. The centres are not loose or worn and overall the labels are clean, bright and in great shape.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are very clean overall with nothing remotely serious showing in normal light but the odd thin wispy line evident when tilted. Under very bright white light there are a few more wispy lines showing, but not loads and they are of course nothing serious. Overall the record appears in great shape with no serious scuffs, nasty marks or blemishes and it has a beautiful vivid gloss.

I play tested the record and it plays well for the majority with very clear audio but it has a couple of minor issues I will try to outline. Firstly it lays flat on the deck with next to no movement in the record arm. The audio produced is very clear indeed and there is little to no surface noise on either side. Its issues are that it has very faint ticks audible in track 2 on side 1. These are not really loud clicks caused by serious deep marks but are soft ticks that can be heard softly in the audio. They also reappear in track 4 on side 1 for around the first 15 second or so. Other than these faint ticks side 1 plays a1 with great audio quality. Side 2 also plays great with next to no interference but for 3 louder pops at the very end of track 2. These are caused by a tiny spot and are clearly audible but other than these the whole side is great. So overall a very clean record which plays well for the majority but has a few minor issue as mentioned. I think a grading of EX- is fair to compensate for the few issues but also considering the quality of the audio as a whole.

The textured sleeve is in excellent condition. It has slight wear and rubbing to the edges and corners but the writing along the spine is still all legible. There are no splits and no tears, scuffs or pen marks anywhere. There is minimal creasing showing but there is some faint ring marks visible and also some general age related grubbiness to both sides. This is most noticeable on the rear with the cream areas showing some grubbiness. Overall the sleeve is solid with no major issues but the light wear and discolouring as mentioned. 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 splits, tears or pen marks but has some light creasing and a faint ring stain/mark in the middle.

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.
