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 are no pen marks, scuffs or any other damage such as stains or fading. The centres are not loose or worn and overall the labels are clean, bright and in nice shape.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides have a lovely lustre and have nothing serious or major showing. There is a couple of light scratches, some light wispy lines and light general signs of use/age showing but nothing sinister. There is also a few minor and superficial 'blotchy' lines in places. So overall the record is used but has nothing nasty or deep showing and is still in good playable condition.

I play tested the record and it played tidily throughout. It lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is little to no movement in the record arm. The sound produced is excellent with no distortion caused by excessive use and no skips, sticks or annoying clicks. There was no serious surface noise and overall the audio quality was excellent. I did notice a small amount of surface noise and minor splutters in the run ins and a hint in the occasional intro but there was nothing disruptive or major. Overall it was enjoyable throughout with no major levels of interference. 

The gatefold sleeve is in very good+ condition. It has a minor amount of rubbing to the edges and corners but nothing extreme and the writing along the spine is all legible. There are no splits, tears or pen marks and just a few minor creases. There is a sticker removal scuff to the front top right corner however. The rear also has some fading and light ring marks showing. Inside the gatefold has no major issues but has light age related grubbiness around the edges. Overall a solid and decent sleeve but one that has light general signs of age and the sticker removal scuff as mentioned. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible.

Its contains its original blue/white poly-lined inner which is in very good+condition. This is solid with no splits or major issues but some signs of age and discolouring. The record will be sent in a brand new plain white replacement inner.

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.

All offers are considered and are more than welcome.

Many thanks for looking.
