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. There are spindle marks visible on the labels but no pen marks anywhere. There is also some slight discolouring or grubbiness to both labels but nothing to severe.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are nice and clean, with little visible in normal light, just a few extremely light lines on either side. When viewed under very bright white light there are a few more extremely minor wispy lines as to be expected with a record of this age, but again nothing remotely deep or sinister. The record has no scuffs or blemishes, has a nice shine and is in great shape considering its age.

I carefully play tested the record on my system(SME 3009 tonearm, Technics Deck and Ortofon stylus)and it plays really well. It lays flat and there is next to no movement in the record arm. The sound produced is superb; its crisp, dynamic and has little interference other than a trace of static in the run in and occasionally between some songs. There are obviously no skips, jumps, annoying clicks or any other musical interference. Its a really enjoyable audio experience.

The gatefold sleeve is in very good+ condition. It has wear to the edges and corners(pics), and the writing along the spine has been affected. Despite this wear the spine is strong and there are no splits anywhere and no weak areas where one may develop. There are no tears or pen marks anywhere, but there is a few small scuffs to the front and back. There is also faint ring marks and also some mild fading throughout. Inside the gatefold also suffers from the fading and also has a few creases around the central spine area. Despite these superficial issues the sleeve is strong, clean and over all in very good shape considering its age.

It includes its original plain white inner sleeve which is in very good condition, although this has ring marks visible, slight discolouring, some creasing and a small 1" split in the bottom edge.

The record will be packaged in cardboard stiffeners and bubble wrapped thoroughly when dispatched. It will also be sent within 24hrs of payment to ensure swift delivery.

I hope my photos are comprehensive enough but if you have any questions then don't hesitate to contact me. I can also supply an audio clip if required, just ask.
