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 successful.

These records are in excellent condition. All four labels do have light spindle marks visible, but no pen marks, scuffs or any other serious issues. The centre holes are not loose and overall they are in great shape.

As for the vinyl itself, all four sides are free from anything serious and actually most are very clean indeed. They all have the occasional very light short line and record 2 also has some strange blotches visible in places.  All sides have light wispy lines visible under very bright light but again nothing serious. There are no nasty scuffs, serious blemishes or any other major issues on any side and overall they are in good shape with a lovely lustre.

I play tested both records and they both play well. They both lay flat with little to no movement in the record arm. The sound produced from both LPs is of good quality, with record one being even better than record 2. This is mainly due to the light blotches causing some minor interference on the early very quiet parts of side 3. This isnt major however and despite this I still enjoyed record 2 and the whole play test in general. There are no skips, sticks, loud annoying clicks or any other serious issues. It has just some very occasional light interference in the run in and much quieter parts.

The gatefold sleeve is in good+ condition. It has some wear to the edges and corners(pics), but the writing along the spine is legible. There are no splits or weak areas anywhere and no tears or pen marks anywhere. There is however clear and noticalbe large scuffs/damage to the rear. This is clearly noticable and is the reason for lower grading. Other than this there is also some light age related grubbiness throughout, mild staining in places and faint ring marks. Inside the gatefold is excellent however with little to report other than traces of the three things just mentioned. So overall the sleeve is solid enough but has a few minor issues and also the clear noticable damage to the rear. Please study the pictures carefully so you can gain as much information on its condition as possible.

It contains both its plain white inners which have no serious issues such as splits, tears or pen marks but do have slight age related discolouring and creasing. There is also some small stains around the size of a penny to both.

It includes its original 16 page booklet/insert which is in very good+ consdition this has no major damage although there is light fading in places. There is also one issue on the last page where it has been folded over at somepoint and causes some damage. It is hard to explain really but other than this the booklet is in good shape and sollid with no tears or pen marks. If you expect it to be used, not perfect and with damage to the last page, then I would hope you wouldnt be disappointed.

So to summarise a very nice sounding(but not immaculate) copy of this classic but with a sleeve with clear damage to the rear. If you are not to worried about the appearance of a sleeve and just want a good sounding original copy with no major issues to enjoy then this may be the one for you.

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.
