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 a few faint spindle marks visible on the labels but no pen marks, scuffs, fading or stains anywhere. The centres show only very minor wear and are not loose or worn. Overall the iconic pink rim Island labels are clean, bright and in really nice shape.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides have a vivid lustre and show only light signs of use in normal light. There is a few very light surface lines and very minor light 'sleeve marks' in places but overall it is excellent and has nothing remotely nasty or serious showing. So overall a used vintage record which has no nasty scuffs or serious marks and has a lovely vivid lustre. It does have some light signs of use and minor lines in places but these are minor. 

I play tested the record and it played really well with excellent clarity and really enjoyable audio. It lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is next to no arm movement noticeable. The audio is clear, defined and excellent throughout with no skips, sticks or seriously disruptive tics and little to no surface noise. I say no seriously disruptive tics as there is one tiny spot halfway through track 5 on side 1 which causes 2 really light tics or faint noises. These are not loud but do sound due to the very mellow nature of the audio in which they occur. Other than these brief and very minor tics there is little else to report other than the most minimal and occasional splutter of light surface noise in places. There is very little during play but there is maybe a hint between some tracks. Overall it plays really well however with no major issues or serious interference. I think a grade of EX+ is more than fair considering both the audio and visual appearance.

The sleeve is in very good condition. It has some wear to the edges and corners but the writing along the spine is still all legible. There are no splits and the sleeve is still strong all round. There are no tears or pen marks but there is a small scuff in the front top right corner where a sticker has been removed. Other than this and the light edge wear there is mild general age related wear in places. There is some minor creases and ring marks, with also a tough of fading in places. Overall a solid sleeve but one that has signs of age and the sticker mark/scuff as mentioned. 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.

Its contains its original blue poly-lined Island inner which is solid with no splits, tears or pen marks but has creasing and age related grubbiness/discolouring to it. The record will be sent in a brand new plain white replacement to ensure it remains clean and fresh.

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.
