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 when viewed under bright light there is still very little to nothing showing. There are no pen marks, scuffs or any other damage such as stains or fading and the centres are not loose. Overall the labels are in superb condition with no major issues at all.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are in superb condition with very little visible in normal light. I can see two very light thin lines when it is angled on side 2 but these are all and are also very minor.  Both side do have a few more incredibly minor wispy lines visible under very bright white light, but not loads and nothing remotely serious or sinister. The record has no nasty scuffs, marks or blemishes and has a stunning vivid shine. 

I play tested the record and it played really well with superb audio throughout. It lays flat, there is no movement in the record arm and the sound produced is fantastic on both sides. Its crisp, dynamic and really clear with only the most minimal trace of surface noise in the run in and very occasionally between some tracks. There is no distortion caused by excessive use and of course there are no skips, sticks or annoying clicks/pops. It was very enjoyable audio experience and was a pleasure to play test.

The sleeve is in excellent- condition. It has only mild wear to the edges and corners, and the writing along the spine is still all clearly legible. There are no splits or weak areas anywhere but the bottom edge has at some point been taped. I don't think this is part of the sleeve design and think it is just what was done as the norm 'back in the day'. It is noticeable but doesn't appear ugly and overall the sleeve appears in pretty good shape. There are no tears, scuffs or pen marks anywhere but there is faint ring marks on both sides and some slight age related discolouring in places. These issues are fairly minor and overall it is solid all round. I have tried my best to describe the sleeve as honestly as possible but please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible on its condition.

It includes its original plain white inner which is solid enough with no splits but does have some ugly staining(tea or coffee?) on it. I will therefore send the record in a brand new plain white replacement.

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.

All offers are considered and are more than welcome.

Many thanks for looking.
