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 very good condition. It must have some incredibly faint spindle marks on the labels but these are not at all obvious and the labels look great. There is no pen marks, scuffs, stains and minimal wear to the centres. Overall the labels show some little and are clean, bright and in excellent condition.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides have a couple of stand out scratches showing. These are light however and cannot be felt. Other than these obvious lines there is also light general signs of use showing to both sides with light wispy lines, sleeve marks and general light signs of use and age. Overall the vinyl is clearly used and has signs of this with the obvious light scratches mentioned and other light lines.

I play tested the record and it played very well throughout. It lays flat on the deck and upon playing there was little movement noticeable in the record arm with maybe just the most fractional raise. The audio produced was a solid grade of 'EX' with no skips, sticks or annoying clicks and nice clarity. It plays at a higher level than the visual 'VG' grade with none of the fore-mentioned scratches having any effect. Overall it plays really well and was a nice tidy listen from start to finish. 

The sleeve is in very good+ condition. It has just mild wear and rubbing to the edges and corners with the writing along the spine all clearly legible. There are no splits, tears or pen marks but there is a very small scuff to the rear top left corner area. There is also some creasing around this area, and some other minor creases to both sides. There is only light ring marks and no major or serious grubbiness. Overall a solid and tidy sleeve with some light age related wear and the small scuff but no nasty issues. 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 picture inner which is in very good+ condition. This has no splits, tears or pen marks but must have got damp at some point as it has 'water associated' creasing and light grubbiness to it. I will send the record in a brand new plain white replacement to ensure no damage occurs to the original during transit.

Also included is the limited edition 10" booklet. This is in excellent condition with no tears, pen marks or major signs of handling.

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, 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.

All offers are considered and are more than welcome.

Many thanks for looking.
