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 just a couple of very faint spindle marks visible on the labels and there are no pen marks, stains or fading. There is little to no wear around the centre holes and all text is legible. Overall the labels are clean, bright and in very nice condition.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are very clean with little showing in normal light. There is the odd faint wispy line and a few really minor handling marks/manufacturing whiskers showing but there is nothing at all serious or obvious. Overall it has a lovely vivid lustre and shows only slight signs of use to its playing surfaces.

I play tested the record and it played well throughout. It lays flat on the deck ans upon playing there is little to no movement in the record arm. The audio produced is excellent with nice clarity for the vast majority. There are of course no skips, sticks or annoying clicks. It has some light traces of surface noise in the run in to side 2 and a hint in the intro of track 1(side 2) but nothing at all major or seriously disruptive. Other than this trace the album play really well with a clear and defined sound. Overall it plays really well and was a pleasure to play test.

The gatefold sleeve is in excellent- condition. It has no serious issues such as tears, pen marks or scuffs but does have some general signs of age and handling. There is light wear on the edges and corners but nothing extreme and the text on the spine is all legible. There is no major ring marks or heavy creasing but there is some age related grubbiness and discolouring throughout. This is not severe but there is some in parts. There is also some grubby marks to the front bottom edge area and an old price(showing £2.37!) sticker to the rear top left corner. Overall a solid and tidy enough sleeve but one that is not immaculate with some grubbiness/discolouring and light wear as mentioned. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible on its condition.

It does not include a picture inner and includes a plain white inner. This is in excellent condition with no splits, tears or pen marks and just light creasing. However the record will be sent in a brand new plain white replacement.

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.
