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 some faint spindle marks visible on each label but there are no pen marks, scuffs or any other damage such as stains or fading. The centres are not loose or worn and overall the labels are clean, bright and in nice shape.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides have a lovely lustre and have nothing serious or major showing. There is a few minor faint lines/marks and minor signs of use/age but nothing sinister. So overall the record is in good shape with a few light lines and some signs of use but nothing nasty or serious.

I play tested the record and it played tidily 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 with no distortion caused by excessive use and no skips, sticks or annoying clicks. There was no serious surface noise and overall the audio quality was excellent. I did notice a small amount of surface noise and minor splutters in the run ins and a hint in the occasional intro but there was nothing disruptive or major. Overall it was enjoyable throughout with no major levels of interference. 

The sleeve is in very good+ condition. It has some rubbing to the edges and corners but nothing really extreme. The writing along the spine is still just about legible and the sleeve is still solid with no splits. There are also no tears, scuffs or pen marks but there is an import sticker to the front. It has also had its front bottom left corner snipped off. There is also some general age related issues such as ring marks/fading showing and some minor creasing in places. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible.

Its contains its original picture inner which is in excellent condition with no splits or major issues but some minor signs of age and handling. The record will be sent in a brand new plain white replacement inner 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.
