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 near mint condition. It has no obvious spindle marks on the labels with still little visible when inspected under bright light. There are no pen marks, scuffs or any other damage such as stains or fading and the centres are not loose. Overall the labels are in superb condition and near immaculate.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are beautifully clean with little showing in normal light just a couple of the most minor small lines imaginable. There are a few more incredibly minor wispy surface lines visible under very bright white light but hardly any and they are of course nothing remotely serious. Overall the record is in superb condition has obviously been well cared for and played sparingly. It has no serious scuffs, marks or blemishes, is perfectly flat and has a beautiful vivid shine.

I play tested the record and it plays great with superb audio. It lays flat, there is next to no movement in the record arm and the audio produced is fantastic throughout. Its crisp, dynamic and really very clear with barely a trace of surface noise in the run in or between tracks. There is no distortion caused by excessive use and no skips, sticks, clicks or pops. Overall it was a high quality audio experience and was a pleasure to play test such a classic album with such clarity and defined audio.

The sleeve is in excellent- condition. It has some wear and rubbing to the edges and corners but the writing along the spine is all clearly legible. There are no splits or really weak areas anywhere but there is a 2.5" section of cracking in the centre of the top edge. This edge is still not weak though and the sleeve is solid all round. There are no tears or pen marks anywhere but there is a small scuff on the front towards the top right corner area. There is also mild ring marks, slight fading or 'mottling' and a few minor creases. So overall not a pristine sleeve but it is far from a disaster with square edges and just some superficial issues as mentioned. I have tried to describe the sleeve as honestly as possible but please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible on its condition.

It includes its original picture/lyric inner which is in excellent- condition. It appears great and has only mild creasing and mild ring marks. There is however a split(2.5") to one of the side edges. Despite this it is still solid and in good shape all round. I will of course send the record in a brand new plain white replacement to ensure no further damage occurs to the original.

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.
