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 faint spindle marks visible on the labels but no scuffs, pen marks or severe fading anywhere. The centre holes show some wear but are not overly worn or loose and overall the labels are bright, free of any major problems and in decent shape.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are free from anything really nasty but there is clear signs of use with light surface lines and some marks/scratches in places. These are all soft and cannot be felt however, apart from one small 1cm mark towards the end of track 1 on side 1. Under bright light all these light surface lines and signs of use do clearly show but there is again nothing really sinister.

I play tested the record and it plays well overall but is not pristine audio. It lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is minimal movement in the record arm. The audio is still enjoyable throughout and has no skips, sticks or loud disruptive clicks. The mark mentioned above in track 1 on side 1 has little affect and doesnt cause clicks, other than some incredibly faint ones between track 1 and 2. The main levels of surface noise or interference are in tracks 2 and 4 on side 2 where there is some light crackling audible in the quieter parts of these tracks. So overall not a perfect, pristine audio experience but one that is free of anything major and has just some surface noise in parts.

The sleeve is in very good condition. It has wear to the edges and corners(pics), with the writing along the spine no longer clearly legible. There are no splits or weak areas anywhere however and all the edges solid enough. There are no tears or pen marks anywhere on the sleeve but there is ring marks showing in parts on both sides. There is also some mild creasing in places and a touch of fading and general age related grubbiness throughout. There is also a small sticker removal mark on the front in the top right corner which has left a small scuff. So overall not a perfect sleeve but one that is still solid and has no really major problems. I have tried to describe it 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 poly-lined inner which is in very good condition with no splits or tears but some age related grubbiness, creasing and discolouring.

Also included is its original lyrics insert which is in very good condition with no tears or pen marks but some general age related grubbiness and minor 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.
