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 no obvious spindle marks visible on the labels with just very slight 'rubbing' around the very outer edge of the centres. There are no pen marks, scuffs or any other damage such as stains or fading and all text is bright and clearly legible. The centres are not loose or worn and overall the labels are clean, bright and in very nice condition. It has the XT taxcode stamped to the centre of side 2. 

As for the vinyl itself, both sides have a lovely lustre and have nothing at all serious or major showing. There is a couple of minor and faint lines just about showing in normal light but very little overall. There is also a slight 'blotchy' mark to side 2. Overall it is nice and clean visually with only very light signs of its age. 

I play tested the record and it played well. It lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is little to no movement in the record arm. The sound produced is excellent with no serious issues such as skips, sticks or annoying clicks. There was also no serious levels of surface noise with just a small amount in the run ins and the odd light splutter in some of the quieter sections. This was all very slight however and overall it plays well with good clarity. I did pick up on a couple of brief(2-3secs) periods of distortion in tracks 1 and 4 on side 2 however. There is no groove wear or marks on the lp so I can only assume that it must be due to a slight manufacturing issues. Overall it plays very well however and is visually probably closer to EX+. Nevertheless it is graded at EX due to the very slight signs of age to the lp, the odd trace of surface noise and the couple of minor and brief periods of distortion to side 2. 

The laminated flipback sleeve is in excellent condition. It has no serious issues at all and is very tidy overall(and considering its age). There are no splits, tears, scuffs and just a few minor creases. There is a touch of rubbing to the record entry corners, and a very light amount to the other edges, but overall very little with the spine all clearly legible. There is faint evidence of a pen mark to the rear top left corner however, but this has mostly been rubbed out and can barely be seen. There is also some minor amounts of laminate missing from the rear left(record entry) edge. Overall a clean and tidy sleeve which for 60+ years old has survived very well. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible.

Its contains its original poly lined inner which is in very good+ condition. This has no splits or major issues but has some grubbiness/signs of age to it. The record will be sent in a brand new plain white replacement inner to ensure it remains clean and ready to play. 

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.
