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 excellent- condition. There are some spindle marks on the labels but no pen marks, scuffs or fading anywhere. The centres show little wear and are not loose or worn. Overall the labels are clean, bright and in good shape but do have some signs of use with the spindle marks as mentioned.

As for the vinyl itself, all four sides have a lovely lustre and show nothing really major or deep. There is however signs of use and age in places with light surface lines, minor thing scratches and some sleeve scuffs or minor marks. There is nothing that can be felt and nothing nasty, but the surfaces are not pristine visually with some light marks, lines and general signs of use/age.

I play tested both the records and they played well with nice audio or good clarity throughout. They lay flat on the deck and upon playing there is little to no movement in the record arm. The audio is a strong grade of 'EX' throughout each side with no serious interference to mention. There is the odd faint splutter of surface noise in places and the occasional minor noise but certainly nothing disruptive. Overall all four side play well with just very slight traces of surface noise or the odd faint noise but no serious issues such as skips, sticks, disruptive tics or major levels of surface noise.

The gatefold sleeve is in very good+ condition. It has some wear and 'nibbles' to the edges and corners but the writing along the spine is still just about legible. The spine is still strong, straight and square, but has light wear and fading as I say. There is no pen marks or tears on the sleeve but there is a small scuff near the centre of the rear. There is very little creasing and hardly any ring marks but there is a few minor age related indentations to both sides. Inside the gatefold is tidy with no major issues but does have some light age related grubbiness to each side and also a small 2mm 'snag' or hole just to the right of the centre right area. Overall a solid and visually tidy enough sleeve but one that has a few minor issues as I have outlined. 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.

It contains both its original blue lyric inners. One is in excellent condition with just light wear, slight ring marks and minor signs of age. The other is similar but has a slight 1cm split developing to the centre of the bottom edge and so would grade as EX-. I will of course send the records in two brand new plain white replacement inners to ensure no further wear occurs to the originals.

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.
