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 excellent condition. It has some very faint spindle marks visible on each label but there are no pen marks, scuffs or fading anywhere. The centres are not loose or worn and overall the labels are in great shape.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are very clean overall and other than one small mark have just a few very light wispy lines showing when angled in  normal light. This one mark I mentioned is right at the end of track 5, near enough right between the track. It is small(around 1cm) and goes inline with the groove rather than across the tracks. It also really doesnt look like a 'scratch' of sorts but rather a series of lines in a zigzag notion. It is bizarre and may even be some sort of manufacturing defect. Either way it is there and not going anywhere! Other than this line or mark(which cant be felt) there is very little showing as I say, just some very minor odd hairlines and occasional minor 'sleeve scuff'. Overall it is very clean, is flat, has a lovely lustre and has no major marks bar this one as mentioned.

I play tested the record and it played really well overall and for the vast majority has little to no interference. It lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is only minor sideways movement in the record arm. This is very minor however and of course has no affect on the audio produced which is superb for the vast majority as I say. It has only a hint of surface noise in the run in and out and no skips or sticks. It has one issue however, which is a series of between 8-10 clicks or noises between tracks 5 and 6 on side 1. These are caused by the small mark or line mentioned above and are clearly audible. They do however luckily occur at the very end of the track and are gone before track 6 begins. Other than this unfortunate but fairly brief issue the record plays great with excellent clarity and definition for a bootleg recording. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed the whole play test and although the few clicks are not ideal I feel I have to grade as EX as the vast majority is great.

The sleeve is in very good+ condition. It has some rubbing and wear to the edges and corners but the writing along the spine is still all clearly legible. There are no splits or weak areas anywhere and no tears, scuffs or pen marks anywhere. There is however some creasing in places(mainly around corners and edges) and also mild ring marks showing. So overall the sleeve is not pristine but is far from a disaster with just light edge wear and creasing as mentioned. I have tried to describe it as best I cab but please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible as to its condition.

It includes its original plain white inner which is in excellent+ condition. This has no tears, splits or pen marks and only slight creasing and ring marks.

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.
