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 excellent condition. It has a few faint spindle marks visible on the labels but there are no pen marks, stains or scuffs. There is minimal wear around the centres and overall the labels are clean and very nice condition.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are very clean overall and have nothing at all major or serious visible. There is the odd faint line or very minor sign of use/handling but these are very minor. There is also a few patches of light and minor groove wear showing. With this in mind I have graded at 'EX' but overall the vinyl is in very good shape with a lovely lustre and just light signs of use to its playing surfaces.

I play tested the record and it played nicely throughout. It lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is little to no movement in the record arm. The sound produced is excellent throughout with no major surface noise or interference, and no skips, sticks or annoying clicks. It has just a trace of surface noise in the run ins and between tracks and overall it plays very well. It was a very enjoyable listen throughout with no nasty unwanted issues or serious levels of surface noise. 

The laminated gatefold sleeve is in excellent condition. It has no major issues but does have some general signs of age/storage. There is some minor wear on the corners and edges but there are no splits and the spine is all clearly legible. There are no scuffs, tears or pen marks on the sleeve but there is light ring marks showing and a couple of very minor creases. There is also a slight 'wobble' to the sleeve(can be felt when you run your fingers over it) and minor grubbiness to the edges where the laminate ends. Overall it is a nice tidy sleeve with no major issues but light signs of age/storage. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible as to the sleeves condition.

It contains its original plain white inner which is in excellent- condition with no splits, tears or pen marks but some general signs of age. The record will be sent in a brand new plain white replacement inner to ensure no further wear occurs to the original.

Also included is its original lyrics insert. This is in excellent- condition with no tears or major issues but light creasing and mild discolouring/grubbiness.

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 ensure swift delivery.
