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 no obvious spindle marks visible on the labels and there are no pen marks anywhere. The labels have some light fading in places and also have some 'mottling' but I am pretty certain this is the label design. Overall the labels are in very nice condition with no major issues to report. 

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are really clean and have very little visible in normal light. There is a couple of the most minor thin lines evident when angled but nothing at all serious or major. There is a few more extremely minor light wispy lines visible in very bright light but not many and of course nothing remotely serious or sinister. The record has no serious scuffs, marks or blemishes, has a beautiful vivid shine and in is really nice condition.

I play tested the record and it played very well. It lays flat, there is next to no movement in the record arm and the sound produced is excellent throughout. Its crisp and clear with next to no surface noise or interference. There is only a hint in the run in and occasionally a trace in the near silent parts but overall it is really clear. There is no serious interference at all such as skips, sticks, annoying clicks or distortion and overall it was a really enjoyable play test.

The gatefold sleeve is in very good condition. It has some wear and rubbing to the edges and corners(pics) but the writing along the spine is still all legible. It has a solid spine and there are no tears or pen marks anywhere. Inside the gatefold is clean with no major issues but there is some light fading in places. The front has no major creasing or ring marks but does have sticker removal scuffs and partially removed stickers in the top right corner. This is the sleeves main issue and is the reason for the lower grading. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible on the sleeves condition.

It contains a plain white inner which is in very good+ condition with no tears, splits or pen marks but with some creasing and light age related discolouring.

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.
