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 no pen marks, scuffs or major issues. Overall the labels are clean, bright and in good shape but with some spindle marks as mentioned.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are free from anything deep or major but do have light signs of use and age. There is some wispy lines in places, light scuffs/sleeve marks/handling lines and general light signs of play. There is nothing nasty however and it still has a nice lustre. It does also have a small patch/area of very small spots/blemishes. These show in the same area on both sides. They are very small and slight but can be seen when angled or under bright light.

I play tested the record and it played well and was enjoyable throughout. It lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is little to no movement noticeable in the record arm. The audio produced has no skips, sticks or annoying tics and no major levels of interference. It plays with the odd light trace of surface noise but nothing major. It plays through the small spots/blemishes with no noticeable affect and overall would grade higher audibly than the VG+ visual grading.

The sleeve is in excellent condition. It has light wear to the edges and corners. There is nothing extreme or heavy and the writing on the spine is legible. There are no splits, tears, scuffs or pen marks and overall it is tidy but there is some general signs of age with some light creasing around the edges, minor ring marks and a few indentations in places. Overall a solid and tidy sleeve with no stand out issues but some general signs of age. 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 plain white inner which is in excellent condition with no splits, tears or pen marks but with some light signs of use and handling.

Also included is its original insert. This is in excellent condition with no major issue and just light signs of handling.

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.
