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 two faint spindle marks visible on each of the labels and there are no pen marks, stains or scuffs. All text is legible and the labels are clean and bright. Overall the labels are in great shape with no real issues and very little signs of use.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are really clean with a lovely lustre and have nothing at all serious evident in normal light. There is a few of the most minor and faint sleeve marks and the odd minor thin line but these are really faint and of course cannot be felt. There is also not many at all, and the ones I have managed to capture in the photos look far worse than they actually are. Overall the vinyl is in great shape with a few traces of play but nothing nasty, sinister or major.

I play tested the record and it really well and sounded great throughout with excellent clarity and little to no surface noise or interference. It lays flat, there is no movement in the record arm and the sound produced is excellent with no distortion caused by excessive use and of course no skips, sticks or annoying clicks. Overall it was a pleasure to play test and produced audio of great quality and excellent clarity throughout with virtually no interference or issues to report.

The sleeve is in near mint condition. It has next to no wear or rubbing to the edges and corners with the writing along the spine all clearly legible. There are of course no splits, and no tears, scuffs or pen marks anywhere. Overall there is also barely any creasing but there is some denting to the rear bottom left corner. There is also a small grubby mark on the far left side of the bottom front edge and also a minor amount of discolouring around the edges. There is also a few minor indentations in places. There is nothing at all serious however and overall the sleeve is in great shape. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible on its condition.

It includes its original lyric inner which is in excellent+ condition. This has no splits, tears or pen marks and little to no creasing or ring marks. However it has some faint age spots or light grubbiness in places(around edges mostly). I will send the record in a brand new plain white replacement to ensure no damage occurs to the original during transit.

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.
