THE ACTUAL PLAYING SURFACES HAVE A LOVELY SHINE THAT IS ONLY FOUND ON EXTREMELY WELL LOOKED AFTER RECORDS. EVEN UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT THERE ARE NO MARKS AND THE VINYL LOOKS PRISTINE.

THE COVER IS PRINTED BY GARROD & LOFTHOUSE, THE LAMINATED FRONT HAS NO CREASES, JUST VERY MINOR WEAR TO TWO CORNERS BY THE OPENING EDGE . ORIGINSL GOLD STEREO STICKER IS IN PLACE.

TURNING OVER, THE THREE FLIPBACKS ARE UNDAMAGED, THE REAR PANEL HAS KEPT ALL OF IT'S WHITENESS WITH JUST A TINY BIT OF AGE TONING. THERE'S A MINOR MARK NEAR THE TOP BY THE TITLE ( SEE PICTURES )

I GRADE RECORDS CONSERVATIVELY USING MY INTERPRETATION OF THE RARE RECORD COLLECTOR PRICE GUIDE GRADING SYSTEM. I DO MY BEST TO GIVE ACCURATE ASSESSMENTS BUT AS WE ALL KNOW THE GRADING OF USED VINYL IS VERY MUCH A SUBJECTIVE MATTER. I OFFER A NO QUIBBLE FULL REFUND IF THE WINNING BIDDER WISHES TO RETURN THE ITEM. ALL I ASK IS THAT THE ITEM IS RETURNED IN IT'S ORIGINAL PACKAGING IN THE SAME STATE AS IT WAS SENT WITHIN 14 DAYS OF RECEIPT. NO PARTIAL REFUNDS.
POSTAGE WILL BE BY IST CLASS SIGNED FOR DELIVERY TO UK AND INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR WITH INSURANCE FOR OVERSEAS BUYERS. PLEASE DO NOT PAY UNTIL INVOICED. SORRY BUT I NO LONGER POST TO RUSSIA, UKRAINE OR ANY OTHER PARTS OF THE FORMER USSR. APOLOGIES TO THE MANY GENUINE COLLECTORS FROM THESE PLACES BUT THE HASSLE I HAVE HAD FROM PREVIOUS TRANSACTIONS MEANS THAT THE MINORITY HAVE SPOILED IT FOR THE REST.
RECORDS ARE REMOVED FROM THE OUTER SLEEVES , PLACED IN A POLYTHENE PROTECTOR AND POSTED IN A SOLID BOX MAILER. THIS MEANS THE ITEM WILL REACH YOU IN THE BEST POSSIBLE CONDITION.
THANKS FOR READING AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS I WILL DO MY BEST TO ANSWER PROMPTLY.
