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 spindle marks visible on each label but there are no pen marks, stains or scuffs anywhere. There is minimal wear to the centre holes, these are not worn or loose and overall the labels are clean, bright and in good shape.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides have nothing remotely serious showing in normal light but there is a few very thin, light wispy lines in places. These minor signs of use do show under bright light along with a few more wispy lines, but there is again nothing sinister. So overall a vintage used record which is in very good shape and has no nasty scuffs, serious marks or blemishes but has the light signs of use.

I play tested the record and it played very well and produced very enjoyable audio of good quality and clarity throughout. It lays flat, there is little to no movement in the record arm and the sound produced is free of any major issues and has little interference of any sort. There is no distortion caused by excessive use and no skips, sticks or really annoying clicks. I did hear 3 very faint ticks in track 2 on side 2 but these were minor and passed very quickly. There is also a touch of minor surface noise in the run in/out, between some tracks and very, very occasionally in some parts of the audio but on the whole it is very clear, crisp and of good quality. It was a very enjoyable play test and produced audio of good quality which was free of any real interference.

The gatefold sleeve is in excellent- condition. It has some minor age related wear and nibbling to the edges and corners, but the writing along the spine is still all clearly legible. There are no tears, scuffs or pen marks anywhere but there is a dent or mark near the front top left corner area. There is no real ring marks showing and very little creasing but there is some light grubbiness or discolouring in places. There is also some inside the gatefold along with some age spots to both sides. So overall a sleeve which is strong and has no major issues but does have signs of age with light discolouring in places. I have tried to describe the sleeve as best I can but please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible on its condition.

It includes its original picture inner which is in very good condition. This appears in good shape with no tears, pen marks or major creasing. It does however have a long split on the bottom edge and is therefore fragile. I will send the record in a plain white replacement to ensure no further wear occurs to the original.

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.

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.
