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 just a few faint spindle marks visible on the labels and there are no pen marks, scuffs, fading or stains anywhere. The centres show no serious wear and are not loose or worn. Overall the labels are clean, bright and in nice shape.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides have a lovely lustre and show only light and minor general signs of use in normal light. There is a few very light signs of use and very minor 'sleeve marks' in places but overall it is excellent and has nothing remotely nasty or serious showing. So overall a used vintage record which has no nasty scuffs or serious marks and has a lovely lustre. It does have some slight signs of use and age but these are all very minor indeed.

I play tested the record and it played well with excellent clarity and really enjoyable audio throughout. It lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is next to no arm movement noticeable. The audio is excellent throughout with no skips, sticks or disruptive tics and minimal surface noise. It has a trace amount of surface noise in the run ins and between some tracks but the audio itself is nice and clear. Overall it was a pleasure to play test and was free of any serious issues and played with good clarity.

The front laminated sleeve is in excellent- condition. It is solid all round with no major issues such as tears, scuffs or pen marks(there is the most faint erased pencil mark to the rear). It does however have some signs of and general storage/handling issues. Firstly there is a mild ring mark showing in the laminate on the front and a few minor creases. There is also an area of heavier creasing to the front bottom right corner area. Other than this there is also a few minor areas of wear on the flipbacks to the rear and light fading to the rear. The spine and edges have slight wear but nothing major and it is all legible. Overall a solid sleeve with some general signs of age but no major 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.

Its contains its original plain white inner which is solid with no splits but has creasing and age related grubbiness/discolouring to it. The record will therefore be sent in a brand new plain white replacement to ensure it remains clean and ready to play.

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.
