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, scuffs or any other damage such as stains or fading. The centres are not loose or worn to any extent and overall the labels are clean, bright and in superb condition.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are beautifully clean, have a stunning lustre and have virtually no scratches or marks showing in normal light. There is a few faint 'mottled' areas on side 1 but these are light and completely harmless. Other than these it is stunning with a vivid lustre and really clean wax. There are a few thin light wispy lines or faint sleeve marks visible under very bright light but nothing much and of course nothing remotely deep or serious. So overall the record is in great shape, has a stunning lustre and shows little signs of use(just the few superficial areas of mottling).

I play tested the record and it played near perfectly and sounded superb throughout with excellent clarity and virtually 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. Overall it was a pleasure to play test and produced audio of great quality and excellent clarity throughout with next to no interference and no major issues to report.

The gatefold sleeve is in a superb near mint condition. It has only a touch of minor wear and rubbing to the corners with the edges clean, square and the writing along the spine all clearly legible. There are no splits, tears, scuffs or pen marks anywhere and overall the sleeve is superb. There is virtually no creasing and only very mild ring marks evident. There is next to no grubbiness or discolouring and overall the sleeve is in really nice condition with inside the gatefold immaculate. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible as to its condition.

It includes its original picture inner which is in very good- condition. This looks decent enough but it unfortunately has taping down one edge and also a long 4" split down the other side. Other than these unfortunate issues there is no pen marks, tears or heavy creasing and as I say it looks tidy enough overall. I will send the record in a brand new plain white replacement to ensure no further damage occurs to the original during transit.

Also included it its original picture insert. This is in near mint condition with no tears, pen marks or 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.
