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 near mint condition. It has no obvious spindle marks visible on the labels, with still none visible under very bright light. There are no pen marks, scuffs or stains and no fading. The centres show no wear and are not loose or worn at all. Overall the labels are in superb condition, have nothing report and show next to no signs of use.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are beautifully clean and utterly spotless in normal light. There is the odd thin light wispy line and incredibly minor 'sleeve scuff' visible under bright light but not many at all and of course nothing remotely sinister. So overall the record is in fantastic condition, has no scuffs, serious marks or blemishes, has the most beautiful vivid lustre and shows only the most minor signs of use possible.

I play tested the record and it played near perfectly and sounded superb throughout. It lays completely flat, there is no movement in the record arm and the sound produced is great as I say. Its really clear with next to no surface noise or interference audible. There is maybe a minor hint in the run in and between some tracks but even this is at a bare minimum. There is no distortion caused by excessive use and of course there are no skips, sticks or annoying clicks/pops. Overall it was a privilege to play test and it produced audio of high quality which had excellent clarity and definition.

The gatefold sleeve is in near mint condition. It has only the most minor amount of rubbing/wear to the edges and corners, and the writing along the spine is all clearly legible. There are of course no splits and no tears, scuffs or pen marks anywhere. I cant see one crease(minor or major) and no ring marks visible at all. There is virtually no discolouring and overall it is clean, bright, strong and in superb condition all round. Inside the gatefold is bright, clean and has no issues at all. It really is in fantastic condition all round. 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 includes its original CBS inner which is in excellent+ condition. This has no tears, splits or pen marks and only very slight creasing and a hint of discolouring. I will send the record in a plain white replacement to ensure no damage occurs to the original which is in great shape.

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.
