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 lots of spindle marks/rubbing visible on the labels but no scuffs, pen marks or fading anywhere. The centre holes are not overly worn or loose and overall the labels are clean, bright and in decent shape.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are free from anything deep but do have lots of light lines/scratches visible in normal light. There is nothing deep or sinister however but there are lots more light wispy lines evident when viewed under bright white light. The record has no serious scuffs, marks or blemishes and despite being clearly well used still has a decent shine. 

I play tested the record and it plays really well. It lays flat, there is next to no movement in the record arm and the sound produced is excellent overall. It is overall very clear with only occasional interference which I will outline now. Firstly there is a very minor amount of surface noise audible in the run in, between tracks and in the very quiet parts. This is not horrific and the majority of the audio is crisp, clear and has little to nothing audible. On side 1 I didnt pick up on any other issues other than this mild surface noise, but on side 2 I noted light spluttering towards the end of track 1 in the much softer 'flute parts'. This still wasnt at a level to be disruptive but was the most standout amount of light surface noise on the album. I also heard a series of 5 clicks around halfway through side 2. These luckily pass quickly and it continues to the end with excellent audio. Overall a clearly used record but one that produces a very enjoyable sound which is still of good quality and would easily grade as VG if not higher.

The gatefold sleeve is in very good condition. It has wear to the edges and corners(pics), and the writing along the spine is no longer all legible. There are no splits or weak areas anyhere however and all the edges solid enough. There are no scuffs, tears or pen marks anywhere on the sleeve and only faint ring marks visible. There is also no major issues with creasing with just a few here and there. There is however wear or bruising along the record entry edge. There is also some age related grubbiness throughout which is the reason for lower grading. This is by no means horrific however and overall the sleeve is strong and in decent shape. There is also a small faint red mark on the front in the top right corner area. I have graded at VG due to the age related wear and the few issues but please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible to its condition.

It contains its original plain white inner in very good+ condition with no splits, tears or pen marks but with age related discolouring, creasing and some general grubbiness.

It also includes its original insert which is in very good condition. This has no tears, pen marks or major issues with creasing but does have some general age related grubbiness and a stain(tea cup ring?) on one side.

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 ensure 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.
