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 near mint condition. It has just a few faint spindle marks visible on the labels and there are no pen marks, scuffs or stains anywhere. Overall the Mad Hatter labels are clean, bright and in great shape.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are really clean with little showing in normal light just a couple of really minor lines/smudges. There are a few incredibly light wispy lines visible under bright light but not a lot and of course nothing remotely deep or serious. So overall the record is in great shape, has a stunning lustre and shows only very light signs of use.

I play tested the record and it played really well and sounded great throughout with excellent clarity and little to no surface noise or interference. It lays flat, there is no movement in the record arm and the sound produced is excellent with no distortion caused by excessive use and of course no skips, sticks or annoying clicks. There was a trace of surface noise in the run in but overall it was a pleasure to play test and produced audio of good quality and excellent clarity throughout.

The gatefold  sleeve is in excellent condition. It has only very light wear and rubbing to the edges and corners with the spine strong and square. There are no splits and no tears, scuffs or pen marks anywhere and there is no major creasing or ring marks. There is however a small sticker removal mark on the front in the top right corner and also some age related grubbiness or discolouring throughout. This is not extreme but there is some grubbiness around the edges and in places to both sides. Inside the gatefold has only a touch of grubbiness and looks great. There is also an incredibly faint small mark or 1cm area of fading near the centre on the front. Overall the sleeve looks excellent but has some light age related grubbiness as mentioned. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible on its condition.

It includes its original picture inner which is in excellent- condition. This has no splits, tears or pen marks and only light creasing and slight ring marks. It does however have faint age spots to each side. These are worse on one side(the side pictured) but there is some to each side.

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.
