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.

These records are in very good condition. There are no more than 3 or 4 spindle marks on each label and there are no pen marks, scuffs or fading anywhere. There is next to no wear around the centres and overall the labels are clean, bright and in superb condition.

As for the vinyl itself, all four sides have a lovely lustre and show no nasty, deep or serious scratches/marks. There is however thin and faint lines in places, occasional minor marks, faint sleeve marks and general light signs of handling. All these marks and lines are very light and of course cannot be felt but are visible when inspected closely and viewed under bright light. Overall both records are in good playable condition but are not pristine.

I play tested both the records and they played nicely overall but do not produce perfect audio. Any audio with any volume is clear and sounds great but there is light noises in places due to the mellow nature of a lot of the lp. Sides 1,2 and 3 are all solid grades of 'EX' with some splutters, light tics and interference in parts but nothing prolonged or really major. Side 4 however has a thin line around 1" in length in from the outer edge. This causes light tics that sound(on my revealing system) for the opening very mellow 4 or 5 minutes. This is of course not ideal. The audio in which they occur is so quiet they do sound. Other than these there is also further sporadic light noises in parts.

Overall both lps have no real surface noise but have light tics in some near silent parts as mentioned. The worst area for this is the first 5 minutes or so of side 4. I have graded at 'VG' but in all honesty it is a hard lp to grade. The audio has no real crackling or surface noise but has interference in parts and is not perfect.

The gatefold sleeve is in excellent+ condition. It has next to no wear or rubbing to the edges with the writing along the spine all clearly legible. There are no splits, tears, scuffs or pen marks anywhere and overall it is clean, bright and in superb condition. It has barely any creasing and little to no ring marks. It is clean and bright with little to no discolouring or grubbiness. Inside the gatefold is also clean but there is a s1.5cm tear to the centre of the centre page. As a result of this I have grade below near mint. Overall a really nice sleeve but with the tear to the centre page inside the gatefold as mentioned. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible to its condition.

It contains both its original plain white poly-lined inners which are in excellent+ condition. They are strong with no splits, tears or pen marks and have just very slight signs of handling.

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 ensure swift delivery.
