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 spindle marks visible on the labels but there no pen marks, scuffs or any other damage such as stains or fading. Overall the labels are clean, bright and in good shape but do have spindle marks as mentioned. 

As for the vinyl itself, both sides still have a nice lustre but there is some faint wispy lines, minor marks and general light signs of use and age showing. There is nothing at all major or sinister however and no obvious or nasty deep marks. Overall it is in good clean playable condition but is not visually pristine and has light signs of use in places.

I play tested the record and it played nicely throughout. It lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is little arm movement. The audio produced has good clarity with no serious issues such as skips, sticks or annoying clicks. There was maybe the odd light trace of surface noise in the run ins, between tracks and the odd near silent part but certainly nothing major or disruptive. Overall I enjoyed the play test throughout and noted little other than the odd most minor trace of surface noise.

The gatefold sleeve is in excellent- condition. It has some minor wear and rubbing to the edges and corners but the text along the spine is still all legible. There are no scuffs, tears or pen marks but there is some age related grubbiness and discolouring. This can be seen on both the front and rear with the white areas somewhat jaded. There is also a few other grubby marks in places. Inside the gatefold has no major issues but again has light grubbiness.Overall a solid sleeve with no major issues but some general signs of age and handling as I have tried to outline. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible.

It includes its original lyric inner which has no splits, tears or pen marks and is in excellent- condition. It does have some light creasing, ring marks and mild discolouring but is solid and tidy overall. I will send the record in a brand new plain white replacement to ensure the original suffers no damage during transit.

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.
