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 some light spindle marks visible on each label but not a drastic amount and no pen marks, stains or scuffs anywhere. The centres show light wear but are not loose or overly worn and overall the labels are in good shape with no really serious issues to report.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are free from anything deep or really serious but do have some very light surface lines or sleeve 'scuffs' showing and signs of use. Overall visually is looks better than a VG grade however with a lovely lustre and nothing sinister or nasty showing.

I play tested the record(on a good quality, revealing system) and it played through with no skips, sticks or clicks but has light surface noise or faint crackling audible more or less throughout. This can be heard between tracks, in the run in and in any section where the audio is not loud(intros etc). So overall an enjoyable playtest free of major issues but with light surface noise audible in the quieter parts and introductions etc. I have graded at VG due to this and although not the record is not perfect or for the purist, it can still be enjoyed and the interference is not really horrendous(can be heard however).

The gatefold sleeve is in excellent condition. It has some wear and rubbing to the edges(mostly one area on the spine) and corners but is still strong and there are no splits anywhere. Other than the edge wear there is little to report and the sleeve is clean, bright and has no tears, scuffs or pen marks anywhere. There is little to no ring marks and barely any creases. There is a touch of light fading inside the gatefold but overall the sleeve is clean and looks great. 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 grey inner which is in good+ condition. This has a 1.5" tear to the top edge(record entry) and also splits to the bottom and side edges. It is therefore fragile and I will of course send the record in a brand new plain white replacement. Other than the splits and the tear however the original looks decent enough with no pen marks or heavy 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.

All offers are considered and are more than welcome.

Many thanks for looking.
