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 does have some faint spindle marks visible on the labels but there are not loads and no pen marks or scuffs anywhere. The centres are not loose or worn and overall the labels are clean, bright and in good shape with no major issues.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are very clean overall and have nothing remotely serious visible in normal light. There is a few light surface lines, very light marks or blotches and some very faint 'sleeve scuffs' showing when angled but these are all very soft and very minor. They so show under bright light however and are a sign of light use. So overall a used record but one that is in excellent condition with no serious marks, scratches or blemishes and one that has a lovely vivid lustre.

I play tested the record and it plays really well and sounded great throughout. It lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is next to no upward movement in the record arm. The sound produced is very clear overall with only a minor amount of surface noise or interference very occasionally audible in the audio. There is a minor amount in the run in and between tracks but nothing severe. Side 2 of this album is very sombre and mellow in parts and if there is to be any surface noise then it will be heard, on most copies, on this side. This record does have some light spluttering in some of the near silent parts(early stage of track 1) but it is not drastic at all and overall it plays great. The audio has no skips, sticks, clicks or pops and in my opinion easily grades as EX. There is this touch of light surface noise in places however, but as I say it is minor and overall it was a quality play test. 

The sleeve is in excellent condition. It has some slight rubbing/wear to the edges(one small 1" 'faint crack' on top edge) and corners(sharp and showing minimal bruising), and the writing along the spine is all clearly legible. There are of course no splits and no tears, scuffs or pen marks anywhere. There is slight creasing to the front bottom left/rear bottom right corner area but barely any ring marks visible. There is however some slight discolouring to the sleeve. This is not drastic and I have seen far worse white sleeves. There is also a couple of minor indentations but these are minor and overall the sleeve is in great shape. I have tried my best 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 picture/lyrics inner which is in excellent+ condition. This has no tears, splits or pen marks and little to no creasing. It has a few minor age spots and some slight discolouring in parts but this is minor and overall it is clean, bright and in great shape.

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.
