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 fair+ condition. It has light spindle rubbing visible on the labels and also small pen marks to each side. There is no major scuffs or wear to the push-out centres and these are firmly in place. Overall the labels are tidy enough with no major issues but the small pen marks as mentioned.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides have loads of light lines, marks and scuffs showing. There is also a 6mm mark on the edge of side 2 that can be felt(see last pic). Other than this there is a small mark in track 2 that can just about be felt. So overall this record is clearly used/mistreated and is not the prettiest visually.

I play tested the record and it lays flat on the deck with little to no arm movement. The audio is as you can imagine from a record graded as F+, not perfect. Side 1 plays the better of the two tracks with audio that would grade as around VG- in my opinion. There is a crackle in the run in and some surface noise faintly throughout but no skips, sticks or loud ticking.  Side 2 is not so good and would grade as G- audibly. This has the scratch on the outside which causes ticks in the intro and for the beginning. It also has a crackly run in and surface noise throughout. There are no skips or sticks but there is some pops/ticks in places.

So overall not a perfect copy of this rarity. I am selling it as more of a 'filler' copy really. Saying this however Side 1 can still be enjoyed, but again is not perfect. Side 2 plays through but is not perfect and has interference as mentioned.

The sleeve is generic and it will be sent in a brand new plain white replacement.

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 outer sleeve, 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.  

All offers are considered and are more than welcome.

Many thanks for looking.
