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 just a couple of short and very minor spindle marks visible on the labels and no pen marks, scuffs or staining. There is next to no wear around the centre holes and overall the labels are clean, bright and in great shape.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are nice and clean overall with nothing at all obvious or major showing. When inspected closely however there is a few light stylus lines in places, a few minor light wispy lines and slight signs of use/age. There is also a small short line/mark at the very end of track 2 and into track 3 on side 2. Overall the vinyl shows no heavy signs of use but does have a few light lines and minor signs of age/handling present. 

I play tested the record and it played nicely overall. It lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is next to no movement in the record arm. The sound produced has no skips or sticks and is generally nice and clear with no serious levels of surface noise. Side 1 plays closer to EX+ with a tidy run in and intro and good clarity overall, just the odd light trace of surface noise in some of the quieter parts. Side 2 is much the same but has some tics audible at the very end of track 2 and just into track 3 on side 2(caused by the small line mentioned above). I noted around 5-6 in the fade out of track 2, tics between tracks 2 and 3, and then around 4 or 5 just about audible in the opening stages of track 3. These are not hugely disruptive to the audio or tracks but can be heard briefly in them, and clearly between the tracks. Overall a good listen with nice clarity on the whole but with these few tics as mentioned and the odd light trace of surface noise in places. 

The gatefold sleeve is in excellent+ condition. It has just a small amount of rubbing or slight wear to the centre of the spine area(see pics). Other than this area the other edges and corners show little with the writing on the spine and top edge all legible. The sleeve solid and there are no tears or pen marks. There is a few light areas of creasing in places(front top edge) and light ring marks but nothing extreme. I have tried my best to explain the sleeves condition but please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible.

It contains its original picture inner which is in excellent+ condition. It has no splits, tears or pen marks and just very slight creasing and mild ring marks. The record will be sent in a brand new plain white replacement inner to ensure no damage occurs to the original during transit. 

The record will be packaged in between 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.
