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 excellent condition. It has a few spindle marks visible on each label but no pen marks or scuffs anywhere. The centres are not loose or worn and overall the labels are clean, bright and in good shape with no major issues to report.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are very clean overall and have nothing serious visible in normal light with just a few very light thin lines and some faint sleeve 'scuffs' showing. There are a few more incredibly light wispy lines visible under very bright light but not a drastic amount and again nothing remotely serious. The record has no serious scuffs, blemishes or nasty marks and has a lovely vivid gloss.

I play tested the record and it played very well especially considering its age. It lays flat, there is only very slight arm movement in the record arm and the sound produced is excellent overall. It has no serious issues such as skips, sticks or clicks/pops and only a very light trace of surface noise audible. This can be heard in some parts as a very, very faint crackle but it is really very mild and only really can be heard if you stand right next to the player. I think this is more due to the pressing than surface lines as overall the record is in nice shape. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed the play test and it suffers from no major issues and no serious levels of surface noise with only this trace amount as mentioned.

The sleeve is in good+ condition. It has some wear to the edges and corners(pics) but nothing extreme and there are no splits and the writing along the spine is all clearly legible. The main issue on the sleeve is a 2" tear on the front right edge. There is also a fair amount of creasing to the laminate around this area and also on the opposite side on the rear. Other than the tear and creasing in this area the sleeve is decent enough but it does have some age related grubbiness to the rear and a pen mark in the top left corner area(rear). So overall not a pristine sleeve due to the tear and general age related wear but one that is still solid enough all round. I have tried 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 contains its original plain white inner in very good condition. This has no splits, tears or pen marks but does have some creasing and some age related discolouring/grubbiness.

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.

All offers are considered and are more than welcome.

Many thanks for looking.
