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 good+ condition. It does have spindle marks visible on the labels but no pen marks, scuffs, severe fading or any other major issues.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides do have lots of surface lines and marks visible in normal light with also a small(4mm) mark in track 5 on side 2. These are clearly visible under very bright white light and there is also more very light wispy lines and sleeve removal scuffs evident. Despite the clear signs of use and fairly marked appearance the record still has a nice shine.

I play tested the record and it plays well overall. It lays flat, there is only a minor amount of movement in the record arm and the sound is enjoyable on the whole. It has a crackle audible in the run in, between tracks and in the very quiet sections but nothing drastic and little noticeable for the majority of play. I did hear some distortion or sibilance in parts of track 3 and 5 on side 1 however. There is also a stick and a few clicks in track 5 caused by the small mark mentioned above. I would say the stick is the worst of the issues and overall it is not a pristine audio experience but is also far from a disaster. Overall I enjoyed the play test despite the stick, light interference and mild distortion to tracks 3 and 5.

The sleeve is in good+ condition. It has considerable wear to the edges and corners(pics), which has caused a 2" split in the centre of the spine. Other than this there are no splits and despite it the edges and sleeve in general is still solid enough. Other than the clear and considerable edge wear there is also 2 faint pen marks on the back in the top right corner and a pen mark/sticker removal scuff on the front in the top right corner. There is also some light creasing throughout and the top right corner has been cut off.

So overall a far from perfect sleeve with quite a few issues as mentioned. It is still pretty solid however and still looks quite nice and bright.

It includes an Elektra inner which is in very good condition with no tears or pen marks but some slight creasing and also splits developing on the edges.

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 ensure 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.
