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 each label but there are no pen marks. There is some light wear around the centre holes however and also a small scuff in the centre bottom left area on side 1. Overall the labels are decent but do have spindle marks and the small scuff as mentioned. 

As for the vinyl itself, both sides still have a nice lustre and have nothing deep or really serious showing but do have signs of age and use. There is light wispy lines in places, minor light scratches and general signs of age and handling. There is nothing that can be felt but the record is used and has signs of this.

I play tested the record and it played tidily throughout but was also not a pristine listen. It lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is little to no movement in the record arm. The sound produced is enjoyable overall with no distortion caused by excessive use and no skips, sticks or annoying clicks. There was no serious surface noise and or major interference but there was the odd splutter in places and the occasional minor noise. Overall the audio would be a solid VG+ with no major issues and good overall clarity but with some minor interference in parts. 

The sleeve is in very good- condition. It appears decent enough but does have signs of age and some issues. Firstly there is a 2" split in the centre of the bottom edge, and a 1" split up from the bottom right corner edge. There is also some wear and rubbing to the other edges and corners. The spine has escaped well however and is all still clearly legible. There are scuffs or pen marks on the sleeve but there is some light age related grubbiness to the rear and a 1" tear to the centre of the rear left edge. Overall a solid sleeve but one that has some issues as I have tried to outline. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible.

Its contains its original 'Use Emitex' poly lined inner which is in very good+ condition. It has no major issues but has some creasing, grubbiness and general signs of age. The record will be sent in a brand new plain white replacement inner to ensure it remains clean and ready to play. 

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.

Many thanks for looking.
