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 very good condition. It has spindle marks visible on the labels but no pen marks, scuffs, fading or any other damage. The centres are not loose or overly worn and overall the labels are clean, bright and in good shape.

As for the vinyl itself, side 2 is very clean, has a vivid lustre and has little showing in normal light. Side 1 has scuffs showing however which do cause issues and will be described below. Other than these scuffs on side 1 there is the odd thin line but nothing really severe. So overall a used vintage record which is very good overall but does have the scuffs on side 1 as mentioned.

I play tested the record and overall it plays well. It lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is little to no movement in the arm. The audio produced on side 2 is excellent throughout with no skips, sticks or clicks and only light occasional surface noise. The most of any interference audible on side 2 is from the actual original recordings rather than the record itself. Side 1 also plays with no skips or sticks but it does have some occasional interference throughout and also a series of clearly audible ticks in the last track. These are caused by a scuff and last for around 12-15 turns. They are in the middle of the last track on side 1. There is also around 5 or 6 more ticks at the very end of this track again caused by a scuff. So overall not a perfect audio experience due to the scuffs on side 1 but overall I think a grade of VG is fair as side 2 is excellent and the majority of side 1 is still enjoyable.

The sleeve is in very good+ condition. It has some wear and rubbing to the edges and corners(pics) but the majority of the writing along the spine is legible. There are no tears or scuffs anywhere but there is a small pen mark on the rear in the top right corner. There is also age related grubbiness/discolouring to the rear. The most noticeable issue is a strip of 'taping residue' along the top edge. This is most noticeable on the rear but it can also be seen on the front. Other than this and the mild discolouring there is also some slight ring marks showing and a few creases to the laminated front. Overall a solid enough sleeve but one that has the mild age related wear and the strip of taping residue 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 CBS inner which is excellent and has no splits, tears or pen marks but light creasing and some slight discolouring.

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.
