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.

These records are in very good+ condition. There are just a few very faint spindle marks visible on the labels and no pen marks, scuffs or fading anywhere. There is virtually no wear around the centres and overall the labels are clean, bright and in great shape.

As for the vinyl itself, all four sides have a lovely lustre and are still in good playable condition. There is one scratch on side 1 that can be lightly felt with your finger and would be the most noticeable mark. Other than this all four sides do also have some light scuffing, surface lines and signs of use. Overall all show some wear and signs of use but other than the one scratch as mentioned have nothing major or really nasty.

I play tested both the records and they played well overall and are still a very enjoyable listen. They lay flat on the deck but there is a slight 'twitch' in the record arm upon playing record 2. This is pretty slight and minor however and has no affect on the sound produced. This is a solid VG+ throughout each side with no skips, sticks or severely disruptive tics. There is some sporadic light tics on side 1 however. As you can guess these are caused by the scratch mentioned above. The sound in places but are not loud and also are hard to distinguish from the actual audio. Overall despite there being a few tics caused by the scratch they are masked well.

Other than these I noted little on side 1 and noted just some light surface noise and minor splutters in the quieter parts of the other sides. For example the quieter last track on side 2 has some faint surface noise in places. This is again nothing severe and as I say all 4 sides grade as VG+ audibly.

The gatefold sleeve is in excellent- condition. It has some light wear to the edges and corners but the text along the spine is still legible. There are no splits or weak areas and no tears, scuffs or pen marks. There is some light creasing in parts however and also a faint sticker removal mark on the front near the top edge. There is also light ring marks showing and some minor general signs of age. Overall the sleeve is in good solid condition all round with just mild wear as mentioned. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible to its condition.

It contains one of its original plain white inners which appears to have been signed by the band. Also included is a 'ticket stub' which I can only assume is where the signing took place. The other inner is slightly different that the signed on and so must be a replacement. Both are solid with no splits but both have some creasing and signs of handling.

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 ensure 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.
