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 very good+ condition. It has just a couple of very faint spindle marks visible on the labels and no pen marks, scuffs or any other serious issues. They are clean, bright and appear in great shape overall. The centre holes show only very minor wear, are not loose and overall the iconic Columbia labels are in great shape as I say.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are very clean overall. There is little showing in normal light with just a few thin light lines showing. I can see one line on side 1 with 3, maybe 4 on side 2. These are not remotely deep or serious and other than these there is little visible. Under bright light these lines show, along with a few more light wispy lines but not a huge amount and overall the record would visually grade higher than VG+. It has no blemishes or serious marks and has a lovely vivid shine.

I play tested the record and overall it played very well with no major issues such as skips, sticks or disruptive clicks and in general very little interference at all. Firstly it lays flat and there is little to no movement in the record arm. The audio has a very minor amount of surface noise audible in the very quiet, near silent parts. Due to this I have graded as VG+. This is fairly minor however and my system(which is of good quality and revealing) picked up on no stand out clicks or areas of loud interference. Any parts of the audio with any volume are crisp, defined and full of definition with no interference audible. It is just a trace of very light surface noise in the very quiet parts. Overall I enjoyed the whole play test, noted no major problems with the audio and think a grading of vg+ is more than fair for both the audio and visual grading.

The sleeve is in fair condition. It has considerable wear to the edges and corners with a long split along most of the bottom edge(pics). There is also a 2" split to the centre of the top edge. Other than the edge wear which really isnt ideal there is considerable age related grubbiness to the rear, along with 3 separate pen marks.  There is also a touch of minor creasing to the front and some laminate lifting from the near the bottom edge. So overall the sleeve really isnt ideal and must be treated carefully to ensure no further damage occurs. I have tried my best to describe the sleeve as honestly as possible but please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible. 

It contains a brand new plain white inner as the original was missing.

The record will be packaged in cardboard stiffeners and bubble wrapped thoroughly when dispatched. It will also be sent in a clean plastic outer and within 24hrs of receiving payment to ensure swift delivery.
