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 but when viewed under bright light there is around 4 or 5 on each side. These are very faint however and overall the labels(which have the KT tax code on side 2) have no scuffs, stains, pen marks or fading. They are clean, bright, have all text legible and show no major signs of use.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are really clean with little to nothing showing in normal light. There is maybe a few incredibly faint and very minor sleeve marks/wispy lines showing under very bright light but very little really and of course nothing remotely sinister. So overall the record free is from anything remotely serious, has a stunning lustre and has shows just very minor signs of use to its playing surfaces.

I play tested the record and it played really well throughout. It lays perfectly flat on the deck and upon playing there is next to no arm movement. The audio produced is excellent throughout with no skips, sticks or tics and little to no surface noise. There was maybe the odd most minor trace in places but nothing at all severe or disruptive. Overall it plays really well with hardly any surface noise or interference, and was a pleasure to play test.

The sleeve is in excellent condition. It has some light wear and minor creasing to the corners and also a 2" patch of wear in the centre of the top edge. This is not a split but there is wear there and so it has weakened somewhat. Other than this area there is minimal wear to the edges with the spine all clearly legible and free of rubbing. The front has no major creasing but there is a few minor ones in the laminate and also a very slight amount of faint laminate 'scuffing'. The rear has light discolouring throughout and also a small sticker(added by previous owner who was an enthusiast and marked each lp with optimal bass/treble settings etc). The sticker is fairly discreet and the discolouring is not at an extreme level. Overall a tidy sleeve with the wear on the top edge and some light signs of age but no major problems. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible on its condition.

It contains its original plain white poly-lined inner which is in very good+ condition. It has no tears or pen marks and is still solid but has creasing, some grubbiness and a split to the paper part on one edge. I will send the record in a brand new plain white replacement to ensure it remains clean and fresh.

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 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.
