The record shows very little signs of being played, still retains a bright sheen and is visually graded NM/85 (see below). The disc plays faultlessly with no skips, jumps or repeated ticks and a quiet background.

The pictures gives a good impression of the sleeve, clean, robust and fully intact, very little shelf wear and with a little bit of laminate creasing towards the edges: NM/85 (see below).

Record Condition Grading System

I apply a visual grading system as follows:

90% - Mint, (90% is the highest figure I give as no records are perfect)

80-89% - Near Mint, NM almost flawless, at 85% only the lightest scuff marks to the record, slight wear to the cover; above 85% and up to 89%, there should be no marks on the playing surface of the record.  Below 85%, down to 80%, there will be progressively more marking, but this will only be very light and superficial. 

70-79% - Excellent, EX, a few more light surface marks than will be seen at 80-85%, light ring wear or creasing to cover, slight tears/laminate lift to the cover.  Remains/marks of price labels or sellotape may be evident to the cover.

60-69% - Very Good, VG, more obvious marks to the record, more obvious creasing, ring wear or laminate lift, worse tears to the cover.  There may be ticks from the record but see below*.

Records are viewed under both daylight and under a halogen light where practical to clearly shows any marks.
