  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 clear wear and signs of use to the labels. There is obvious wear around the centres to each side(see pics). Despite this obvious wear the spindle hole is not excessively loose and it causes no issues. Other than the wear around the centre holes there is also a set of initials in yellow/red marker pen showing to the top left area of side 2, and a much fainter set to the bottom left area of side 1. All the text on the labels is legible however and although not ideal with the wear to the centres the labels are not a complete disaster.

As for the vinyl itself both sides still have a nice lustre but are clearly used and have signs of this and their age. There is nothing that is very deep or that can easily be felt, but there is light scratches, scuffs, marks and general signs of use/age. The vinyl is not perfect visually and so is graded at VG- minor due to this.

I play tested the record and it played decent throughout however. It lays flat on the deck and there is little to no movement in the record arm upon playing. The audio is of course not perfect but there are also no skips, sticks or loud annoying prolonged tics. There is some light surface noise in the intros and run ins to each side, and also some light splutters and minor levels of interference in parts of play. I noted nothing extreme or excessive however and overall the audio would be a solid grade of VG.

The laminted gatefold sleeve is in very good condition. It has no scuffs, splits or pen marks and is solid all round. There are however signs of its age. There are ring marks showing to each side, and also some laminate creasing(mostly emanating from the edges). There is also wear and marking/bites along the spine and to the left side top and bottom corners. The spine is solid but the text along it is now only partially legible. Inside the gatefold has some light grubbiness and also a 1" tear to the right inner edge(lower top area). Overall a sleeve that has signs of its age and is not perfect but is also still solid enough. I have tried to describe the sleeve as best I can but please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible.

Its original inner was missing and so the record will be sent in a brand new plain white replacement. 

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.
