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 near mint condition. It has no obvious spindle marks visible on the labels and no scuffs, pen marks or any other major damage.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are really clean with next to nothing showing in normal light. There is still little visible under bright light and of course nothing remotely serious. So overall the record is in great shape, with a beautiful lustre and little sign of use.

I play tested the record and it played really well and sounded great throughout with excellent clarity and little to no surface noise or interference. It lays flat on the deck and the sound produced is excellent with no distortion caused by excessive use, and of course no skips, sticks or annoying clicks.

The gatefold sleeve is in near mint condition. It has very little wear or rubbing to the edges and corners with the writing along the spine all clearly legible. There are no splits, and no tears, scuffs or pen marks anywhere. There is hardly any creasing or ring marks and barely any grubbiness or discolouring. There is a very small amount of rubbing to the bottom left corner, and a fraction of light rubbing on the bottom edges but overall the sleeve is clean, crisp and in really nice shape. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible on its condition.

It includes its original plain black inner which is in near mint condition with no splits, tears, pen marks.

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.
