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 does have some faint spindle marks visible on each label but there are not loads. There is also no pen marks, scuffs, stains or other issues. Overall the labels are clean, bright and in good shape with all text legible and just the few faint spindle marks to report.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are free from anything deep or major but do have faint sleeve 'scuffs', wispy lines and signs of use showing faintly in normal light. These show more obviously when angled or under bright light but are all minor and there is nothing nasty, deep, or that can be felt. Overall it has signs of use but is still in good playable condition with no sinister marks. 

I play tested the record and it played well and produced enjoyable audio throughout. It lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is little to no movement in the record arm. The audio has no skips, sticks or tics and is generally nice and clear. I noted very little surface noise on the album other than a light amount in the run ins and also the intro or earlier stages to track 2 on side 1. Overall it plays with audio closer to 'EX' and would certainly hold a grade of VG+ audibly.

The sleeve is in very good+ condition. It has some wear and rubbing to the edges and corners, but the writing along the spine is still all legible. There are no splits or weak areas on the sleeve and it is solid enough. There are no tears or pen marks but there is a few small scuffs near the bottom edge on the rear and a small one on the front near the top right corner. There is no heavy creasing but there is some minor ones in places, mainly around the edges. There is also light ring marks to each side and slight general handling marks or minor 'grubbiness'. 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 lyric inner which is in very good+ condition. This has no splits, tears or pen marks but does have light creasing, minor wear and faint age spots/grubbiness to each side. I will send the record in a brand new plain white replacement.

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.

Many thanks for looking.
