This record is in very good condition. It has light spindle marks and rubbing visible on each label but no pen marks, stains or scuffs anywhere. The centres show light wear but are not loose or overly worn and overall the labels are in good shape with no really serious issues to report.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are free from anything deep or majorly serious but do have a few light surface lines, a mild scuff in track 1 on side 1 and some minor areas of groove wear showing in normal light. There are more incredibly light wispy lines and signs of use visible under very bright but again nothing serious or sinister. So overall a used vintage record that has no nasty marks or serious blemishes, has a lovely shine but has signs of use and wear with some minor scratches and marks showing. 

I play tested the record and it played well overall and produced enjoyable audio but did have a couple of issues which I will outline now. Firstly it lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is minimal movement in the record arm and so no issues with warping etc. There are no skips or sticks and no really loud clicks but the scuff mentioned above in track 1 on side 1 causes around 8-10 audible clicks about 20 seconds into this track. These are not really loud and massively disruptive but can be heard nevertheless.  Other than these I heard 2 pops in the last track on side 1 and some light surface noise in the quiet intro to side 2. Other than these issues the audio was very enjoyable and other than some light surface noises and mild interference in places had little to report. Overall I enjoyed the whole play test and despite having a few issues, they were all fairly minor or brief and didnt disrupt the record too much.

The laminated sleeve is in excellent- condition. It has slight wear and rubbing to the edges and corners(pics), but the writing along the spine and top edge is all still clearly legible. It is clean, bright, has a strong spine and there are no tears, scuffs or pen marks anywhere. There is however slight ring marks showing on both sides and some slight creasing in places. These are not drastic or really obvious however and overall the sleeve is strong, clean and in good shape overall. 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. This has no splits, tears or pen marks but does have light creasing,  ring marks, some mild discolouring.

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.
