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 few light spindle marks visible on the labels and no pen marks, scuffs or fading anywhere. The centres are not loose and overall the labels are in great shape. 

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are free from anything remotely serious and have just a few light lines visible in normal light. There is more extremely minor wispy lines visible under very bright white light but again nothing serious or sinister.  The record has no nasty scuffs or blemishes and has a lovely vivid shine. 

I play tested the record and it plays really well. It lays flat but upon playing there is a noticable 'bob' or 'twitch' in the record arm. This isnt severe enough to cause any issues to the audio and so is just a fairly minor superficial issue. So as I say this causes no issues to the audio which is superb and has next to no interference or surface noise. Its crisp, defined and really clear with only a miniscule trace of surface noise audible in the run in. There is little to nothing audible during the actual audio as I say. There are no serious issues such as skips, sticks, annoying clicks or pops. It was a very enjoyable play test and produced audio of high quality.

The sleeve is in very good+ condition. It appears in great shape with next to no creasing and barely any ring marks visible. There is also no tears, scuffs or pen marks anywhere. However there are splits to the top and bottom edges. These are both of similar length and measure roughly 2.5". The rest of the edegs strangely show little wear and the text along the spine is all clearly legible. So overall the sleeve is clean, bright and solid enough but has these splits as mentioned. I have tried to capture the sleeves issues as best I can in the pictures provided so please study these to gain as much information as possible.

It includes its original picture/info inner which is in very good+ condition. This appears great and has no tears or pen marks and only slight creasing. It does however have splits to the left and bottom edges. I will therefore send the record in a brand new plain white replacement to ensure no further damage occurs to the original.

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 ensure 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.

Many thanks for looking.
