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 purchased.

These records are in very good condition. There are spindle marks on each of the labels but no pen marks anywhere. The centres show some wear and rubbing but are not loose. There is also some faint age spots or mild grubbiness to each label but this is not severe. Overall the labels show signs of age/use but are still tidy enough.

As for the vinyl itself, all four sides have clear signs of use with very light surface lines, mottling and sleeve scuffing present. These are visible in normal light when angled and are a clear sign of use. Other than these there is also the odd mark and line showing and the records are not perfect visually. So overall both records are clearly used and do have light lines and marks present but luckily have nothing that appears nasty or deep. They are used however so do not expect perfect clean glossy vinyls.

I play tested the records and they played well with very enjoyable audio throughout each side and no serious issues at all. They both lay flat on the deck and upon playing there is next to no arm movement noticeable. The audio as a whole is much better than the visual VG grading and is a strong grade of EX in my opinion. There are therefore no skips, sticks or ticks and generally little to no surface noise. I noted a hint in the early parts of 'Jimmy Jazz'(track 3) on side 1 and a little between tracks but very little for the vast majority of play. There is also next to no distortion caused by excessive use with the audio defined and sharp. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed the entire play test and both lps play nicely and as I say produce audio that is a much stronger grade than the VG visual grade.

The sleeve is in very good condition. It has some wear and rubbing to the edges and corners but the writing along the spine is still all clearly legible. There are no splits, tears, scuffs or pen marks anywhere and overall it is tidy enough. It does have signs of age however with age related discolouring and grubbiness to the rear, ring marks and creasing in parts(front bottom left corner area, around the edges,rear bottom left corner area). Overall a solid sleeve with no drastic issues but some general signs of age and handling as I have tried to out line. I have done my best to describe the sleeve but please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible as to its condition.

It contains both its original lyric inners. One is in very good+ condition with no splits but some age related creasing, ring marks and light discolouring. The other is similar but has a split to the bottom edge and so it in very good- condition. I will send the records in plain white replacements to ensure no further wear occurs to the originals.

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.
