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.

These records are in near mint condition. There are barely any spindle marks visible on the labels and no pen marks, scuffs or fading anywhere. There is virtually no wear around the centres and overall the labels are clean, bright and in great shape.

As for the vinyl itself, all four sides are really clean, have a vivid lustre and show little in normal light. There is the off faint wispy line or very minor faint 'mark/smudge/ but nothing at all serious. There is also a few more light wispy lines and faint sleeve marks when viewed in very bright light, but not many and again nothing at all serious. The records have no serious scuffs or nasty marks, have a vivid lustre and are in very nice condition overall.

I play tested both the records and they played really well with very nice audio throughout. They lay flat on the deck with next to no movement in the record arm upon playing. The sound produced is crisp and clear with little to no surface noise audible in the music and only the most minor trace in the run in. There are no skips, sticks or seriously annoying clicks but I did note 3 light ticks around 3/4 of the way through track 1 on side 4. These are caused by a small spot or blemish. They do sound but pass quickly and other than these the audio was really very nice throughout. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed the entire play test which passed by with nothing to report other than three brief ticks as mentioned and the odd most minor splutter of surface noise.

The gatefold sleeve is in near mint condition. It has minimal amounts of wear to the edges and corners with the text along the spine all still clearly legible. There are no splits or weak areas and no tears, scuffs or pen marks. There is also hardly any creasing and only very faint ring marks showing when angled. There is a hint of age related grubbiness or light discolouring inside the gatefold but this is not extreme and overall the sleeve is in great shape all round. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible to its condition.

It contains both its original plain white inners which appear in a simial condition. They both have light discolouring and mild creasing but no tears or pen marks, One has a split to the bottom edge however but this has been taped and so both are still solid and fulfil their purpose.

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.
