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 good condition. It does have spindle marks visible on each label with pen marks, scuffs or stains. There is no serious wear to the centre holes but there is light 'age spots' showing to both sides. Overall the iconic red/plum labels are tidy but not perfect with the light age spots and spindle marks as mentioned.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are free from anything deep or really major but do have clear signs of use and age showing. There is scratches, lines, scuffs and generals signs of use and age to both sides. There is nothing that can be felt to the touch and it still has a nice enough lustre but is a used vintage lp and has signs of this.

I play tested the record and it played well enough and was enjoyable throughout but was also not a perfect audio experience. It lays flat on the deck and there is little to no movement in the record arm upon playing. The audio has no skips, sticks or annoying tics but there is some general interference in places. It has some light splutters of surface noise in the run ins and intro to side 1 and some in the quieter start to track 4 on side 1. There is also occasional sporadic minor and light noises in parts, plus occasional pop on both sides and general light amounts of interference in the quieter sections. Overall I enjoyed the entire play test and my system(which is revealing) picked up on no majorly disruptive issues, just general light interference in parts. Overall both sides, audibly, are a solid grade of G in my opinion.

The sleeve gatefold is in good condition. It has no splits or tears and is still solid all round but does have clear signs of age. It has heavy rubbing and wear to all the edges, corners and especially the spine. The spine is no longer legible and heavy rubbing all along it. Other than the edge wear the sleeve also has a small scuff or mark to front right side(central area). This small scuff is quite discreet but when inspected closely it shows partial amounts of pen marking/felt pen(attempted 'repair' of some sort). The sleeve also has light ring marks and fading showing in parts to both sides. Inside the gatefold has minor and general signs of age, along with some writing in pen to the front cover. So overall a sleeve that wear and signs of its age but is also free of splits or any really nasty issues. I have tried to describe the sleeve as best I can but please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible as to its condition.

It contains a brand new plain white replacement inner as the original was missing.

The record will be packaged in cardboard stiffeners and bubble wrapped thoroughly when dispatched.
