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 does have faint spindle marks visible on each label but no pen marks, stains or scuffs anywhere. The centres are not loose or worn and overall the labels are in good shape with no major issues to report.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are free from anything deep or serious but do have a few light surface lines and also some faint sleeve 'scuffs 'showing in normal light. These and also lots of very light wispy lines and signs of use are visible under very bright. There is again nothing serious or sinister, just light lines and mild signs of use. So overall a used record that has no nasty marks or serious blemishes, has a lovely shine but has light surface lines and signs of use.

I play tested the record and it played well overall and suffered from no major issues. It lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is only a minor amount of upward movement in the record arm. There are no skips, sticks, annoying clicks or pops but is it does have some static in places. This can be heard  in the run in, between songs and also for some reason more pronounced in track 1 on side 2 and on side 2 in general. For this reason I have graded at VG which I think is fair. Despite the light interference in places I still enjoyed the whole album and overall it plays well with no nasty surprises or majorly disruptive forms of interference just light crackling in places.

The sleeve is in excellent+ condition. It has only a minor amount of wear/rubbing to the edges and corners(pics), with the writing along the spine all clearly legible. It is clean, bright, has a strong spine and there are no tears, scuffs or pen marks anywhere. There is next to no ring marks showing and little creasing to the laminate. There is no major issues at all, but there does appear to be tape along the top and bottom edges. I am however not sure if this is part of the design as it appears so well done that is doesnt look like a repair job. Overall the sleeve appears in great shape with no major issues. 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 light creasing, ring marks and age related grubbiness/age spots. 

It also contains its original lyrics insert which is in excellent condition. This has no tears, pen marks or heavy creasing but has light creasing and a few minor grubby marks in places.

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.
