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 spindle marks visible on the labels but there are no pen marks, scuffs or other major issues. Overall the labels are in a tidy condition with no major issues but with spindle marks as mentioned.  

As for the vinyl itself, both sides have some signs of use and age with some light scratches, scuffing and general handling marks. The vinyl is not perfect visually and has some lines and marks present. There is nothing that can be felt however and it is still in good playable condition but not perfect visually.

I play tested the record and it produced audio that was enjoyable throughout and it plays better than it look. It lays flat on the deck and upon playing there was little to no arm movement. The audio produced was a strong grade of 'VG+' with no skips, sticks or nasty annoying tics. There was the odd light splutter and mild amount of surface noise in places but nothing major. It plays with good clarity on the whole with the quiet 'animal' ending and mellow end to side 2 still of good clarity. Overall it plays well and was a nice listen and the audio would certainly match the VG+ visual grade.

The wide spine gatefold sleeve is in good condition. It has some age related wear and rubbing to the edges and corners but is still solid. It does have a 2" split up the rear top edge however. Other than this split there is also some general creasing in places, light fading and mild ring marks. There are no tears or pen marks on the sleeve but as well as the lighter and more general creasing there is also heavy creasing/damage to the rear(see pics). This is clearly noticeable and does not look great. Overall a sleeve that is not ideal with the creasing to the rear but is still solid enough overall. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible on the sleeves condition.

It contains its lyric inner which is in very good condition with no tears or pen marks but with a 3" split to the centre of the bottom edge, light fading and minor creasing. The record will therefore be sent in a brand new plain white replacement inner to ensure no further wear occurs to the original.

The poster is not included as this has gone missing unfortunately.

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