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 very good condition. It has spindle marks visible on the labels and the centres are a little loose. They are not excessively worn however but there is wear and signs of age to them. All the text is legible and it has the KT tax code stamped to side 2. Overall the labels are not perfect and do show signs of age and use but are also still decent enough with no major issues.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides have nothing really nasty or deep but are clearly used and have obvious signs of this. There is light wispy lines and scuffing over both sides and also a few other more noticeable lines. Overall a used vintage lp that has obvious signs of this and is not perfect but also has no nasty, deep or major marks.

I play tested the record and it played tidily throughout with no major issues or serious levels of interference. It lays flat on the deck and there is little to no movement in the record arm. The centres are a little loose as mentioned above but these cause no problems during play.

As for the audio it is not a pristine listen but is also free of skips, sticks or skips and has no major interference. There is some light surface noise in the run ins on both sides and some between tracks. There is also a touch of sound deterioration in places, but nothing major or hugely noticeable. Overall it is a used vintage lp that plays solid with no major issues but is also not perfect or a pristine listen.

The front laminated G&L sleeve is in very good condition. It has no major wear or rubbing to the edges and corners with the writing along the spine all legible. There are no tears or scuffs on the sleeve but there is some signs of age however. There is some ring marks and laminate creasing to the front and some age related discolouring to the rear. There is also a pen mark to the rear top left corner and staining/age spots across a lot of the rear. So overall a solid and decent sleeve but one that has general signs of age and the staining to the rear as mentioned. 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 its original 'Use Emitex' lined inner which is in very good condition with no splits, tears or pen marks but some creasing, ring marks and discolouring. The record will be sent in a brand new plain white replacement inner to ensure it remains clean and ready to play.

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.
