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 some spindle marks visible on each label but there is not an extreme amount at all and overall the labels are in nice condition. There are no pen marks, stains or scuffs anywhere and the centres show minimal wear. Overall the labels are clean, bright and in nice condition with all text legible and just minor signs of their age.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides have a lovely lustre and are generally clean. There is one stand out scratch on side 1 however. This cannot be felt but can be seen clearly. Other than this one scratch there is a small mark at the very start of track 2 and also some wispy lines and minor sleeve marks due to handling and age. The vinyl is generally a solid visual 'EX' but does have the one obvious light scratch and so is graded at EX-.

I play tested the record and it played very well for the vast majority with nice clarity and good quality audio. It lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is little to no movement in the record arm. The sound produced has no skips, sticks or hugely disruptive clicks but there is a set of 3 tics audible at the very beginning of track 2 on side 1. These are caused by the small mark mentioned above and do sound. There are two before the vocal begins before one more just after. These do sound as I say but are brief and pass very quickly. Other than these 3 tics there is little to report with the more serious longer scratch being light and having no affect on play. Overall the audio is clear and of good quality. It would be a strong grade of 'EX' on each side but for the 3 tics.

The textured sleeve is in excellent- condition. It has some rubbing and wear to the edges and corners but the text along the spine is still all legible. There are no tears, splits or pen marks and only minor ring marks. There is a few light creases to each side however and also a few small marks/scuffs and a scratch to the rear(top middle area). Overall a solid sleeve which is clean and bright but has some signs of age and handling 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.

It contains its original plain white inner which is in very good+ condition. It looks tidy and there are no tears or splits. There is only mild creasing and light discolouring but there is an old record shop 'stamp' to one side.

Also included is its original fold out lyrics insert. This is in excellent condition with no tears, pen marks or serious issues.

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.
