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 purchased. 

These records are in excellent condition. There are a few faint spindle marks on the labels but there are no pen marks, scuffs, fading or staining anywhere. There is little to no wear around the centres and overall they are clean, bright and in nice condition.

As for the vinyl itself, all four sides are nice and clean, have a lovely yellow lustre and have very little visible in normal light. There is a couple of light lines(on all four sides combined) showing lightly in normal light and few more minor faint wispy lines showing under bright light. These are all very minor however and nothing at all serious. There is also a couple of small 'brown marks' or spots on record two. These are completely harmless, and are just a small and minor manufacturing issue. Overall both records are in very nice condition with just light signs of use to their playing surfaces.

I play tested both the records and they played very well overall. They lay flat on the deck with little to no movement in the record arm upon playing. The sound produced is nice and clear with very little surface noise. There was maybe a little in the run ins on each side but this was very slight. The 'wind' intro to side 1 plays nice and clear, and the rest of the whole lp follows suit. There are of course no skips, sticks or major issues, but there was 5 light tics that sound lightly around 30 seconds into the early stages of track 1 on side 1. These are not loud tics but can be heard faintly for a brief period. Other than these there was occasional light pop in places but certainly nothing much. Overall a very tidy listen with no major issues and just the few light tics as mentioned above.

The trifold sleeve is in very good+ condition. It has no splits, tears or pen marks and is solid all round. There is a sticker removal mark/area of damage to the front top right corner area however. Other than this there is also some light rubbing on all the edges, and some more noticeable wear to the bottom of the spine. There is also a little to the top of the spine. The spine is solid and all text along it is legible but there is light rubbing and the wear to the bottom as mentioned. There is no major levels of creasing and only light ring marks showing. Inside the trifold has no major issues but has some very slight grubbiness in places and light 'creasing' around the centre area/spine area. Overall a solid and decent sleeve but one that has the sticker removal damage to the front and light general wear as outlined. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible to its condition.

It contains both its original plain white inners but these are showing quite a lot of creasing, have ring marks and one has grubby marks to it. The originals will be included but the records will be sent in two brand new plain white replacements to ensure they remain clean and ready to play.

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.
