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 has some spindle marks visible on the labels but there are no pen marks, scuffs, fading or any other damage. There is no serious wear to the centre holes and overall the labels are in nice tidy condition with no serious issues to report but with some spindle marks as mentioned.  

As for the vinyl itself, both sides have signs of use and age but also no nasty or deep marks/scratches. There is some light sleeve marks, thin light scratches and general signs of use/handling showing. Overall a used vintage lp that is not perfect visually but is also still in good playable condition with no major issues or nasty marks.

I play tested the record and it produced audio that was enjoyable throughout and has no serious issues or major levels of interference. Firstly it lays flat on the deck and upon playing there was little movement in the record arm with maybe just a fraction of a raise.

The audio produced was a solid grade of 'VG+' overall with no skips, sticks or nasty annoying tics. There was however some light splutters and mild surface noise in places. This can be heard faintly between tracks and the much quieter parts but is not loud or disruptive. Overall the record is used as I say and is not perfect but also plays tidily and would be a solid grade of 'VG+' audibly.

The embossed gatefold sleeve is in very good condition. It has no pen marks or scuffs on it but does have signs of use, age and handling. There is some creasing and damage to the rear top left corner area, and some dents and wear to all the other edges/corners. The spine is still legible but does have some rubbing and wear to it. The sleeve also has light discolouring to it and mild creasing in places. Overall a solid enough sleeve but one that is not perfect and has some issues as I have tried to outline. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible on the sleeves condition.

It contains its original picture/lyric inner which is in excellent- condition with no tears, splits or pen marks but with some creasing, light discolouring and minor wear. The record will be sent in a brand new plain white replacement.

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 within 24hrs of receiving payment to try to ensure a swift delivery.
