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 good+ condition. It has faint spindle marks visible on each label but there are no pen marks, stains or scuffs anywhere. The centres show minor wear but are not worn or loose. Overall the labels are clean, bright and in good shape with no major issues but with the spindle marks on each side as mentioned.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides show clear signs of use with faint wispy lines, sleeve scuffs, marks, scratches and general sign of use. There is nothing that can obviously be felt however with most of the marks/lines and wear being soft. It is used however and despite having a nice lustre is graded low at G+.

I play tested the record and it played ok but was not perfect. It lays flat on the deck and there is little to no movement in the arm upon playing.

The audio produced was still enjoyable but was not perfect. Its clarity is general nice with no major problems with surface noise. There is light tics in places however. These are mostly found on side 2 with side 1 playing better overall. I cant describe every tic and pop but noticed faint tics the the last third of track 2 on side 2 and some in the intro of track 3. There was also some other sporadic light tics and noise in parts.

Overall not a perfect audio experience but one that can still be enjoyed. It has no skips and the general audio is decent enough but it does have some interference as I say.  It is graded low and priced accordingly due to its imperfections.

The sleeve is in excellent condition. It has only minor amounts of rubbing and wear to the edges and corners with the text on the spine all legible. There are no tears, scuffs or pen marks and only mild amounts of grubbiness. There is a faint ring mark on the front however and also a few creases in places(front bottom right corner area). The sleeve is generally clean and tidy though with just light signs of age really. 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 a plain black inner which is strong with no splits or problems.

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.
