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 couple of faint spindle marks visible on the labels and there are no pen marks, scuffs or any major issues. There is a few faint minor 'marks' or light areas of age spots on side 1 but these are faint and minor. The centres show no serious wear and are not loose or worn. Overall the labels are clean, bright and in nice condition.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are nice and clean, have a lovely lustre and show little in normal light. There is two faint lines that show when it is angled on side 1 and some of the most minor and faint traces of use to each side. There is certainly nothing at all major or nasty and side 2 shows little. Overall a really nice piece of vinyl with a couple of faint lines as mentioned but certainly nothing excessive or major.

I play tested the record and it played very well throughout. It lays flat, there is next to no movement in the record arm and the sound produced is excellent with no distortion caused by excessive use, and no skips, sticks or annoying clicks. There was minimal amounts of surface noise(a trace in the run ins on each side and the most minor fraction in the intro to side 1), and most certainly nothing at all severe. The overall clarity was really good however and it was a thoroughly enjoyable listen with audio of nice clarity and good quality throughout. 

The fully laminated sleeve is in excellent- condition. It has no major wear to the edges and corners and the spine is all clearly legible. There are some creases and minor dents to the edges in places however. There are no pen marks or tears on the sleeve but there is some minor scuffs along the rear bottom edge, where the laminate ends. There is also general age related laminate marking to the front and rear, a few creases in places and also laminate 'bubbles' along the spine area(front and rear). Overall a solid and presentable sleeve but one that has some signs of its age with marking and laminate issues. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible.

It contains its original poly-lined inner which is solid with no splits or tears but has some creasing and age related discolouring. The record will be sent in a brand new plain white replacement inner.

The record will be packaged in between 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.
