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 only a couple of faint spindle marks visible on each label and there are no pen marks, scuffs or any other damage such as stains or fading. The centres are not loose or worn and overall the labels are clean, bright and in very nice shape.

As for the vinyl(pressed on a deep red translucent vinyl) itself, both sides have very little visible in normal light and have a lovely lustre. There is the odd faint wispy line showing and a minor amount of light handling marks but certainly nothing obvious or nasty. Overall it is in good clean condition with some light signs of age but nothing major.

I play tested the record and it played well overall but has a couple of issues to mention. It lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is little to no movement in the record arm. The sound produced is free from sticks or skips and has no loud tics. The general clarity of the audio is also excellent with no real surface noise audible. There was however a series of around 10-12 very light tics audible in the mellow part of the last track on side 1. These were not loud and hugely noticeable but do sound softly for a period. Other than these there was also a similar light period of tics (6-8) in the early stages of track 2 on side 2. These were again light but again sound quietly.

So overall a very nice listen for the vast majority and a record that appears nice and tidy. But one that is graded below excellent and EX- due to the two brief periods of light tics as outlined above.

The fully laminated textured gatefold sleeve is in excellent condition. It is solid, clean and tidy with no really nasty issues but has a couple of things to mention. Firstly there is a small scuff near the front bottom left corner area(see pics). There is also a small and faint area of staining to the rear bottom right corner area. Other than these minor issues there is also light rubbing to the spine and edges, and a hint of fading to the inside of the gatefold. The booklet is included and is in very nice condition with no tears or issues to the staples. Overall a solid and presentable sleeve but one that has a couple of minor issues as outlined. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible.

Its contains its original plain white poly-lined inner which is in very good+ condition with no splits or pen marks but with some age related discolouring and a small tear to the central window of one side.The record will be sent in a brand new plain white replacement to ensure it remains clean and ready to play.

The record will be packaged in between 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.
