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 near mint condition. It has a few very faint spindle marks visible on the labels but these can only be seen when tilted or under very bright light. There are no pen marks, scuffs or fading and the centres are not worn or loose. Overall the labels are in superb condition with just the very faint spindle marks to report.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are beautifully clean with next to nothing showing in normal light. There is two small superficial 'blobs' on the very edge of the record(one in run in and one just into track 1) but these are very minor and nothing at all serious. There is also a few very thin light wispy lines and very minor 'sleeve scuffs' visible under bright light but again nothing remotely sinister. So overall the record is in superb condition, has no nasty scuffs, serious marks or blemishes and has a beautiful vivid lustre.

I play tested the record and it played really well and sounded fantastic throughout. It lays flat, there is little to no movement in the record arm and the sound produced is superb as I say. Its really clear with only the most minimal trace of surface noise or interference very occasionally audible. There is a minimal amount in the run in and a touch between some songs but on the whole the vast majority is crisp, very clear and defined. There is no distortion caused by excessive use and of course there are no skips, sticks or annoying clicks. I heard 3 separate faint pops in the very quiet ending to track 1 on side 2 but this was all the whole play test. Overall it was a delight to play test and produced audio of high quality which was free of any major problems and has excellent clarity and definition.

The sleeve is in excellent condition. It has only a very minor amount of rubbing/wear to the edges and corners, and the writing along the spine is all clearly legible. There are of course no splits and no tears, scuffs or pen marks anywhere. There is next to no creasing, barely any ring marks visible and overall it is strong and in great shape all round. There is however some minor discolouring in parts(most noticeably near the record entry), which I have graded it down for. This is far from horrific however and overall it is strong and very tidy for its age. I have tries 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 includes its original plain white inner which is in excellent condition. This has no tears, splits or pen marks but slight creasing, mild ring marks and some minor age related discolouring.

Also included is its original lyrics insert which is in excellent condition. This has no tears or pen marks and next to no creasing. It does also have a little grubbiness to it however. This is very minor though and overall it is in great shape.

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 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.
