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 a few spindle marks visible on the labels but there are no pen marks or scuffs. There is some light grubbiness or age spots/marking to each label however. This is not hugely noticeable but they are not as clean as they should be.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are very clean with next to nothing showing in normal light. There is maybe the odd most minor wispy line or faint blotchy mark but nothing at all serious or major. Overall it shows no major signs of use to its playing surfaces and has a lovely vivid lustre.

I play tested the record and it played really well. It lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is only the slightest hint of upward movement in the record arm. This is very slight however and of course has no affect on play or the audio produced.

The sound produced is excellent throughout with no sticks, skips or annoying tics and nice clarity. There is hardly any surface noise in any track and just the most minor trace between some tracks and in the intros. Overall it plays great and was a pleasure to play test.

The front textured sleeve is in near mint condition. It has only the most minor fraction of rubbing to the edges and corners with the spine square, straight and the writing along it all clearly legible. There are of course no splits, and no tears, scuffs or pen marks. There hardly any creasing, only the most minor faint ring marks and no real discolouring or grubbiness. Overall the sleeve has survived very well and is in really nice condition with just very slight signs of age. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible on its condition.

It includes its original plain white inner which is in excellent+ condition. This has no splits, tears or pen marks but has light creasing and slight signs of handling.

Also included is its original promotional insert. This is in excellent condition with light creasing and faint age spots/marks but no tears or serious issues.

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.
