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 minor scratches. There is nothing nasty however and it still has a nice lustre. Overall it is used and has some signs of this but is also free of any major marks or anything really nasty.

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 and the occasional minor noise but nothing major or hugely disruptive. Overall it lays solid and would certainly match the VG+ visual grading.

The sleeve is in very good+ 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 areas of grubbiness/discolouring. There is also an area of light staining to the front(left side of banana, see pics). Overall a solid sleeve with no major issues but with some light wear and the stains/discolouring as mentioned. 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.

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.
