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.

This record is in excellent- condition. It has only a few very faint spindle marks visible on each label and there are no pen marks, stains or scuffs anywhere. The centres show minimal wear and are not worn or loose. Overall the labels are clean, bright and in good shape.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are nice and clean overall with nothing at all serious or deep visible. There is some light faint wispy lines and minor sleeve 'marks' showing when angled however and so I have down graded due to these. They are all faint and minor but are a sign of use and can be seen clearly under bright light. Overall a used vintage lp that has no nasty marks, still has a lovely lustre but has some signs of use as mentioned.

I play tested the record and it played well with no serious issues or major levels of interference. It lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is just a hint of movement in the record arm. The sound produced has no skips, sticks, clicks or pops and was enjoyable throughout. I noted the odd very minor amount fo surface noise in some places but nothing extreme. Overall the audio was free of serious issues and has only very mild traces of surface noise in parts.

The sleeve is in excellent- condition. It has some rubbing and wear to the edges and corners but the text along the spine is still legible. There are no tears, scuffs or pen marks on the sleeve but there is a small partially removed sticker/mark on the front in the top right corner. Other than this there is also light creasing in parts and also a mild ring mark on the rear. There is also slight fading and minor grubbiness on the rear. 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 its original plain white inner which is in very good+ condition. It has no splits, tears or serious issues but has some creasing, discolouring and signs of handling.

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.
