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 few faint spindle marks visible on the labels and there are no pen marks, stains or fading. Overall the labels are clean, bright and in very nice shape.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides show very little in normal light with just slight signs of use. There are certainly no major or obvious marks/scratches and nothing more than a few faint and minor wispy lines. Overall a nice tidy piece of vinyl with just slight signs of use/age.

I play tested the record and it played nicely throughout. It lays flat on the deck and there is little to no movement in the record arm upon playing. The audio produced has no skips, sticks or annoying tics and plays with no distortion. There is also very little surface noise and the general clarity is excellent. The run in and intros to each side are of good clarity with no major surface noise. Overall it plays well and was a very enjoyable listen throughout.

The sleeve is in excellent- condition. It is generally tidy all round but has some light wear on the edges and also a small scuff to the front top right corner area. The wear on the edges is only slight and both the spine and top edge are legible. There are no pen marks or tears on the sleeve but there is the small scuff as mentioned. There is also some very minor evidence of sticker residue around the scuff area. There are no major ring marks or serious levels of creasing but there are light amounts of both. Overall a solid and presentable sleeve but one that has the small scuff and light general signs of age as outlined. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible on its condition.

It includes its original EMI inner which is in excellent condition. This has no splits, tears or pen marks but has some discolouring and light general signs of age. The record will be sent in a brand new plain white replacement inner.   

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, 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.

All offers are considered and are more than welcome.

Many thanks for looking.
