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 few very faint spindle marks visible on the labels and there are no pen marks, scuffs, fading or staining anywhere. The centres show little to no wear and overall the labels are clean, bright and in really nice condition.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are nice and clean visually with a lovely lustre(glows a deep red when held to direct light due to being pressed on deep red translucent vinyl). There is a few light lines and minor signs of age/handling in places but nothing at all obvious, deep or major. Overall it shows just light signs of age and is a nice tidy copy visually.

I play tested the record and it played very well for the vast majority with no major levels of interference or really serious issues. It lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is only the slightest amount of movement noticeable. The audio has no skips, sticks or loud seriously disruptive tics and is generally nice and clear. There is however a thin line in track 3 on side 1 that causes around 5 or 6 light but faintly audible tics around halfway into the track. These are not loud nasty tics but can be heard faintly for a short period. Other than these I also noted some light surface noise in the run ins and some lightly throughout the quieter opening track to side 2. This was again not loud or major but can again be lightly heard in parts of the track. The rest of side 2 plays well with EX+ audio until the end. Overall both sides are very enjoyable with just these minor issues to consider. I have graded at 'EX' which I think is fair due the majority of the lp play very nicely and the interference mentioned only being quiet minor.

The textured gatefold sleeve is in very good+ condition. It has some rubbing and wear to the edges and corners but the writing along the spine is still all legible. The worst of the rubbing is found on the top of the spine. Other than the wear on the edges the sleeve has a small and discreet scuff to the front top right corner area. There is no other scuffs and no tears or pen marks. There is no major creasing or serious ring marks but there is some creasing to the top left/rear top right corner. There is also light bruising along the record entry edge. Inside the gatefold has its booklet firmly attached with just light wear around the staples. There is no major issues to report inside the gatefold but there is some light age related grubbiness and fading around the edges. Overall a solid sleeve with no stand out issues or serious problems but one that has some signs of its age and general handling issues. I have tried to describe the sleeve as best I can but please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible as to its condition.

It includes its original plain white inner which is in very good+ condition. This has no splits, tears or pen marks but does have light age related discolouring and minor creasing to it. I will send the record in a brand new plain white replacement to ensure the record remains clean and ready to play.

The record will be packaged in between cardboard stiffeners and bubble wrapped 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.
