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 spindle marks visible on the labels but no pen marks, scuffs or fading. There is minor wear around the centre holes but overall the labels are in good shape.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are free from anything really deep but there is lots of light surface lines, some scratches and some groove wear present. These are all clearly visible in normal light when angled and the record is clearly used. These light lines clearly show, with more, under bright light but there is again nothing really deep or nasty. Overall the record is clearly used but has nothing really sinister but has lots of light lines and scuffs.

I play tested the record and it plays well overall with no skips, sticks or clicks and only very minor light occasional surface noise in places. It lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is little to no movement in the record. The audio has only mild amounts of occasional surface noise and is still a very enjoyable listen. There was little to no distortion and on the whole it plays much closer to VG+ than the VG- audio grade, with side 2 especially nice.

The embossed gatefold sleeve is in very good condition. It has clear and obvious rubbing and wear to the edges and corners(pics) with the text along the spine now no longer legible(pics). There are no splits or weak areas anywhere however and also no tears, scuffs or pen marks. There is some fading to each side however and also creasing in places(front bottom right corner + near spine). There is also some light age related grubbiness to the rear. Overall a solid enough sleeve but one that has age related wear as mentioned. 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 a brand new plain white replacement inner as the original was missing.

There is no poster included as this has also gone 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 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.
