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 near mint condition. It has no obvious spindle marks visible on the labels, but there may be some incredibly faint ones invisible to the naked eye. Neither side has pen marks, scuffs, stains or any other issues and overall the labels are clean, bright and in superb condition with all text legible and minimal signs of use.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are really clean with very little showing in normal light. There is a few incredibly faint and very minor sleeve marks/wispy lines showing under very bright light but not much really, and of course nothing remotely sinister. So overall the record free is from anything remotely serious, has a stunning lustre and has shows just very minor signs of use/age to its playing surfaces.

I play tested the record and it played nicely throughout. It lays perfectly flat on the deck and upon playing there is little to no arm movement. The audio produced is excellent throughout with no skips, sticks or tics and generally little to no surface noise. There was maybe the odd most minor trace in places but nothing at all severe or disruptive. Overall it plays really well with excellent clarity and no serious levels of interference at all.

The sleeve is in excellent condition. It has no serious wear to the edges but there is some on the corners. The worst of the four is the front bottom right corner which has some wear(see pics). The others show only light wear and the edges have light discolouring in places but no serious issues. All text on the spine is legible and the sleeve is still strong. The laminated front has some slight discolouring in places, a few minor creases and some slight 'laminate scuffing'. These are all pretty minor however and overall the front is generally tidy. The rear has some age related grubbiness/discolouring and also a small sticker(previous owner added with optimal bass/treble settings) to the top left corner area. Overall a solid and tidy sleeve with no major issues but some general light signs of age and the small sticker as mentioned. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible on its condition.

It contains its original plain white poly-lined inner which is in excellent condition. It has no splits, tears or pen marks but has creasing and light discolouring/signs of age. I will send the record in a brand new plain white replacement to ensure it remains clean and fresh.

Also included is its original lyrics insert. This is in excellent condition with no tears, pen marks or heavy creasing but with some discolouring and faint age spots in places.

The record will be packaged in between cardboard stiffeners and bubble wrapped thoroughly when dispatched. It will also be sent in a brand new protective plastic sleeve 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.
