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.

This record is in excellent condition. It has no obvious spindle marks visible on either label and there are no pen marks, scuffs or any other damage such as stains or fading. The centres are not loose or worn and overall the labels are clean, bright and in superb condition.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are very clean overall and have a lovely lustre. There is no large amount of marks or scratches to either side but there is one thin 3cm scratch on side 1 that can be felt with your finger. There is also a few other small light lines and very minor signs of use to each side. Overall the record certainly has not been played much and overall is very clean. It does however have this one scratch to side 1(see pics) and a few other light and minor marks or light signs of use.

I play tested the record and it played well. It lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is no movement in the record arm. The audio produced was a strong grade of EX on each side. The scratch on side 1, mentioned above, luckily does not causes audible ticks and side 1 plays very well with clear and crisp audio from start to finish. I noted no skips, sticks or ticks and next to no surface noise on side 1, with the audio and easy EX+ in my opinion. Side 2 also plays with no skips, sticks or ticks and is a strong EX grade overall. It has minimal surface noise but has a few light splutters in a couple of the quiet parts(track 2 and early stages of  track 4). These are minor however and overall the album plays well and is a strong grade of EX audibly. 

The sleeve is in near mint condition. It has next to no wear or rubbing to the edges and corners with the writing along the spine all still clearly legible. There are of course no splits and no tears, scuffs or pen marks. There is little to no creasing and barely any ring marks evident. There is a few minor faint indentations in places however, and also a mild amount of grubbiness to some of the white areas on the front(top left corner area). These issues are mild though and overall the sleeve is in very nice condition. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible.

It includes its original lyric inner which is in excellent+ condition. This has no splits, tears or pen marks but has faint ring marks and mild signs of handling. The record will be sent in a brand new plain white replacement to ensure no damage occurs to the original during transit.

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.

Many thanks for looking.
