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 successful.

This record is in excellent+ condition. It has a few very light spindle marks visible on the labels but no pen marks, scuffs or fading. The centres are not loose and overall the labels are in great shape with just these few light spindle marks to report. 

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are very clean with little visible in normal light. There are a few incredibly light wispy lines visible under very bright white light, but not loads and of course nothing remotely deep or serious. The record has no scuffs or blemishes and has a beautiful vivid shine.

I play tested the record and it plays really well. It lays flat but upon playing there is some very slight movement in the record arm on both sides. It must therefore have a very slight outer storage warp but this is very minor and has no affect on the sound produced which is superb. Its crisp, dynamic and very clear with only a minuscule trace of surface noise in the run in and very occasionally between tracks. There are obviously no skips or sticks and no serious annoying clicks. I did hear a few very light ones in track 4 on side 2 however. These are very minor indeed though, do not disrupt the audio and as I say are only just audible. Overall the audio is of high quality, was very enjoyable and the record was a pleasure to play test.

The gatefold sleeve is in excellent condition. It has slight wear/rubbing to parts of the edges and corners(pics), but the writing along the spine is all clearly legible. All the edges are strong with no splits or weak areas, and the worst of the edge wear is just some rubbing on the bottom edges. Other than the slight edge wear there is some extremely faint fading on the front and back. This is very minor however, as is the occasional minor indentation that is here and there. Inside the gatefold is clean, bright and in great shape with little to report other than some minor creasing along the central right area of the spine region. So overall the sleeve is excellent all round with just a few minor issues and nothing serious whatsoever.

It contains its original plain white inner which is in very good+ condition. This has no splits, tears or pen marks but does have some creasing, ring marks and slight age related discolouring. 

Also included are all 3 of its separate inserts. These being the 'Lyrics' and 'Scraps' booklets which are in great shape with no tears or pen marks and only very slight creasing. And also its large fold out poster which is in excellent condition with no tears, splits or pen marks and only light creasing where it folds up.

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 ensure swift delivery.
