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 both the labels and there is also some wear/damage around the centres. This is not extreme but is worse on side 1 than on side 2(see pics). There are no pen marks or major stains and all text is still legible. Overall the '33' textured CBS labels show signs of use and age but are not really bad or worn.

As for the vinyl itself both sides show signs of use and age but there is nothing that is really major or very serious. There is light surface lines, minor marks, light wear and a small 5mm mark(that can be felt) at the very end of track 3 on side 2. This small mark is the only thing that can be felt on the record and is the most noticeable of any marks. Overall a used vintage lp that still has a nice lustre and has no really major marks but does have signs of use, age and the small mark on side 2 as mentioned.

I play tested the record and it produced audio that can certainly still be enjoyed and is generally a very nice listen with no major issues or serious interference.

The record lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is no major arm movement on either side with just a very slight raise evident. This is only slight however and of course has no affect on play or the audio.

The audio produced was a nice listen throughout and there were no skips, sticks or major tics. The small mark mentioned above on side 2 does cause some tics at the very end of track 3, between tracks 3 and 4 and for the first 5 or so seconds of side 4. These do sound but are luckily nearly all at the very end of track 3 and in between tracks.

Other than these I noted no other tics but did note some occasional very light surface noise or the odd splutter/noise. There was no major or noticeable distortion however and overall the audio was a solid grade of VG. There was some light spluttering in the run ins on both sides and between some tracks but generally it played tidily enough.

The front laminated sleeve is in good+ condition. It is solid with no splits or tears but has clear and obvious signs of its age. It has wear on the edges and corners, with the text along the spine affected and no longer legible. There is also pen marks on the rear along the top edge area, and heavy discolouring/grubbiness to the rear. There is also laminate creasing to the front, ring marks and general signs of age to both sides. There is also a sticker removal residue mark to the top right corner area, and a small section missing to the bottom right corner area. Overall a solid sleeve but one that clearly shows its age with the issues I have tried to outline. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible.

The record will be sent in a brand new plain white replacement inner as the original was tatty and worn.

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.
