  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, scuffs or any other damage such as stains or fading. Overall the labels are clean, bright and in nice tidy condition.

As for the vinyl itself both sides have a lovely lustre and no heavy marks or serious scratches. It has a couple of light thin lines showing and a few light sleeve 'scuffs' showing when angled but there is certainly nothing at all deep, serious or major. Overall it shows light signs of use and age but has nothing nasty or extreme and is in nice tidy condition.

I play tested the record and it played well with no issues and very enjoyable audio throughout. It lays flat on the deck and there is little to no movement in the record arm upon playing. It has no skips, sticks or annoying clicks and is a solid grade of 'EX' throughout. It has tidy and clear run ins on each side with just the most minor fraction of slight splutters. The intros to tracks 1 on each side are also tidy with nice clarity and overall a very nice listen throughout. 

The wide spine gatefold sleeve is in very good+ condition. It has no major issues such as splits, pen marks or tears and is solid and strong all round. It does have a small amount of fading to each side, and also some rubbing and wear on the edges and especially the spine(still all legible). The spine is strong and legible as I say but there is some wear along it(see pics). Inside the gatefold has no major issues but has some light ring marks and minor signs of age showing. I have tried to describe the sleeve as best I can but please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible.

It includes its original rounded corner inner which is in very good+ condition. This has a small 5mm tear to the top edge, light age spots/marking showing in places and also a 1" split developing in the centre of the bottom edge. The record will of course be sent in a brand new plain white replacement inner to ensure the record remains clean and ready to play, and so no further wear occurs to the original. 

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, 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.
