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 excellent- condition. It has some spindle marks visible on the labels but there is not a drastic amount and also no pen marks, scuffs or staining. There is minimal wear around the centre holes and overall the labels are clean, bright and in good shape.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides have a lovely lustre and show nothing serious or major. There is a few faint lines and sleeve marks, with also a couple of small light scratches but nothing extreme or major. These lines and signs of use show with some more light wispy lines under bright light but there is again nothing sinister and overall it is still in good used condition.

I play tested the record and it played nicely with good clarity and no major interference. It lays flat and there is little to no movement in the record arm upon playing. The sound produced is a solid grade of excellent in my opinion with no skips, sticks or loud tics and no serous interference or surface noise. I did note around 3 or 4 light noises at the start of track 3 on side 2 however(caused by a tiny small spot). Other than these minor and brief noises there was also some of the most faint and light tics in track 4. These are caused by the light mark pictured(last pic) above. They really are very light but do just faintly sound ever so slightly due to the mellow audio in which they occur. Overall it plays very well with nice clarity and no serious interference or major issues.

The sleeve is in very good condition. It has rubbing and wear to the edges and corners with the writing on the spine now no longer clearly legible. The sleeve remains solid and there are no splits or weak areas anywhere. There are no tears, scuffs or pen marks anywhere and overall the sleeve is still tidy enough. There is some age related grubbiness or discolouring in places however and also minor ring marks. Overall a solid sleeve with no serious issues but some general age related wear and grubbiness as mentioned. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible on its condition.

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

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 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.
