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 a few faint spindle marks showing on each side but there are no pen marks, stains or scuffs. Overall the labels are clean, bright and in nice shape with all text legible and no major issues.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides have a lovely lustre and show nothing deep or serious. There is a few faint marks and minor lines in parts however. It has light signs of use but nothing extreme or major. Overall a used vinyl with light signs of this but nothing nasty or serious. 

I play tested the record and it played tidily but was not a crystal clear audio experience. It lays flat and there is little to no movement in the record arm upon playing. The audio is still a great listen and has no serious issues such as skips or sticks. There is also minimal interference in general with any audio of any volume clear and of great quality. However there is a few light splutters and noises in the very quiet intro to side 1 and the intro to the last track on side 1. These splutters are not severe of hugely disruptive but can be heard to the mellow nature of the music. Overall it is still a very nice listen but does have the odd light noise or splutter(mostly side 1 with side 2 playing very well).

The sleeve is in near mint condition. It is still partially in its original shrink wrap that has done a good job of protecting it over the years. The record entry edge is exposed and there is a large area on the rear also exposed but the edges are mostly covered and have been protected well. There is minimal rubbing evident and all text is legible. There is a few very faint indentations in the exposed area on the rear but overall the sleeve is in great shape with no serious issues or much wear at all. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible on its condition.

It includes its original lyric inner which is in excellent+ condition with no splits, tears or pen marks and only very slight creasing and minor wear. I will send the record in a brand new plain white replacement to ensure it does not incur any damage during transit.

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.
