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 maybe two light spindle marks visible on each label and no pen marks or scuffs anywhere. The centres are not loose or worn and overall the label are in superb condition with very little to report.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are really clean and have little of note visible in normal light with just a couple of incredibly light thin lines showing. These are very minor indeed and overall it is in great shape. There are a few more incredibly light wispy lines visible under very bright light, but not many, and of course nothing remotely serious. The record has no serious scuffs, nasty marks or blemishes and has a beautiful vivid gloss.

I play tested the record and it played really well and sounded superb throughout. It lays flat on the deck but upon playing there is a slight 'bob' in the arm. This is pretty minor however and of course has no affect on the audio produced which is excellent. Its crisp, dynamic and very clear with minimal surface noise or interference audible. I heard a hint in the run in and a minor amount between tracks but the the vast majority is of great clarity. There are obviously no skips, sticks, annoying clicks or any other serious issues and overall it was a quality audio experience and was a pleasure to play test.

The sleeve is in near mint condition. It has just a trace amount of rubbing to the edges and corners(pics), with the writing along the spine all clearly legible. It is clean, bright, has a strong spine and there are no tears, scuffs or pen marks anywhere. There is next to no ring marks showing and no serious creases with just a few light ones dotted about(front bottom left area). There is also a very faint mark(sticker removal?) on the front in the top right corner, but this is very minor and only visible when angled. Overall it is in great shape with minimal wear and it looks wonderful. 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 contains its original plain white inner in excellent condition. This has no splits, tears or pen marks but has some minor creasing and very slight discolouring.

It also includes its original lyrics insert. This is in excellent+ condition with no serious issues and only some incredibly light 'creasing'.

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.
