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 excellent condition. It has spindle marks visible on the labels but no pen marks, scuffs or any other damage such as stains or severe fading. The centres do have a litttle wear but are not really loose and overall the labels are in pretty good shape with no major problems.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are free from anything remotely deep or serious and have little clearly visible in normal light with just very light surface lines visible at certain angles. These minor wispy lines are clearly visible under very bright white light, but these are again not sinister. The record has no nasty scuffs, marks or serious blemishes and has a lovely vivid shine.

I play tested the record and it plays well and sounds great throughout. It appears to lay flat but upon playing there is a very slight 'bob' or some slight movemnt in the record arm and so it must have a very minor warp to it. This is pretty minor however and has no affect on the audio produced which is superb and has little to no interference throughout. Its crisp, dynamic and really clear with only the most minimal trace of surface noise in the run in and very occasionally between some tracks. There is little to no distortion caused by excessive use and of course there are no skips, sticks or annoying clicks/pops. It was a quality audio experience, was a pleasure to play test and would be graded higher audibly.

The stickered sleeve is in excellent- condition. It has some rubbing/wear to the edges and corners, but the writing along the spine is all clearly legible. All the edges are strong with no splits or weak areas anywhere, although there is a 1" patch of wear on the rear top edge which is the worst of it. This edge is still strong however despite this area of wear and overall the sleeve is solid. There are no tears, scuffs or pen marks anywhere but there is mild ring marks visible on both sides. There is also some minor creasing and a few minor indentations here and there, but overall it is clean, bright and in good shape. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible on its condition.

It includes its original plain white inner which is in good+ condition. This has a split along the bottom edge which has been taped. Other than this there are no further splits and no tears or pen marks. There is some creaasing, ring marks and mild discolouring but overall it is still solid enough and fulfils its 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.
