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 very good condition. It has spindle marks and rubbing visible to both the labels but no scuffs, stains or pen marks. The centre holes show some wear but are not overly worn or loose. Overall the labels are free of any really major problems but have spindle marks as mentioned.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are free from anything really nasty or deep but there is clear signs of use with light surface lines, sleeve scuffing and a couple of light minor scratches(cant be felt). These are all fairly mild and not overly serious but are nevertheless a clear sign of use. Under bright light all these light surface lines and marks do clearly show along with a few more, but there is again nothing really sinister.

I play tested the record and it plays well overall. It lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is little to no movement in the record arm. The audio is still very enjoyable throughout and it has no skips, sticks or major clicks. There is some surface noise or mild interference in the run in, between tracks and very occasionally in the really quiet parts of some tracks but nothing to be massively disruptive and overall it is clear and of good quality. There are no major issues as I say but I did hear 4-6 very faint ticks in track 2 on side 2 and also 3-4 in the last track of the album. These were not loud pronounced ticks and overall the audio was very enjoyable and easily grades at VG.

The front laminated sleeve is in very good+ condition. It has some wear to the edges and corners(pics) but the writing along the spine is still all clearly legible. There are no tears anywhere on the sleeve but there is a pen mark on the rear in the top left corner. There is also a line of scuffs near the front far left edge(top middle area). These are not massively noticeable but can be seen. Other than these scuffs there is also some age related creasing and grubbiness to the rear. This is not drastic however and overall the sleeve is strong and solid all round with just age related wear and the scuffs as mentioned. I have tried to describe it as best I can but please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible as to its condition.

It contains a brand new plain white replacement inner as the original was missing.

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.
