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 just short spindle marks or rubbing visible near the centres of the labels and no pen marks, scuffs or fading. The centres are not loose or worn and overall the iconic pink rim labels are in great shape.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are free from anything remotely serious but do have a few very minor short light lines visible when angled in normal light. When viewed under very bright light there are some more very light wispy lines but again nothing remotely serious. There is nothing sinister anywhere and the record has no nasty scuffs, marks or blemishes. It is flat, has a beautiful vivid shine and overall is in very nice condition. 

I play tested the record and it played really well with excellent audio throughout both sides. It lays flat, there is little to no movement in the record arm and the audio produced is free of any major issues. Its crisp, dynamic and very clear with just an occasional minor amount of surface noise or interference audible. There is a touch in the run in/out and occasionally between some tracks but the vast majority is crisp and surface noise free.  There are obviously no skips, sticks or clicks and no pops or any other serious issues. Overall it was a really enjoyable audio experience and produced audio of high quality.

The gatefold sleeve is in very good condition. It has wear to the edges and corners, but the writing along the spine is all legible. There are no splits anywhere and no really weak areas where one may develop but the top rear edge is fairly worn. There are no tears, scuffs or pen marks anywhere but there is some age related grubbiness throughout(mainly noticeable on the front) and some 'splash marks' or staining to the front right area. So overall a solid sleeve with no really major issues but some age related grubbiness and wear as mentioned. I have tried to describe its issues as best I can but please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible to its condition.

It contains its original plain blue Island inner which is in very good condition. This has no splits, tears or pen marks but does have age related grubbiness, staining and light creasing. I will of course include the original but will send the record in a brand new plain white replacement.

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.

Many thanks for looking.
