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.

This record is in very good+ condition. It has some spindle marks visible on each label but there are no pen marks, scuffs or any other damage such as stains or fading. The centres are not loose or worn and overall the labels are clean, bright and in nice shape.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides still have a nice lustre and have nothing deep or serious showing but do have signs of age and use. There is light wispy lines in places, minor lines and general signs of handling. There is nothing that can be felt but the record is used and has signs of this. These are clearly visible when the record is angled or under bright light and the vinyl is not perfect visually but is also free of anything nasty or major.

I play tested the record and it played tidily throughout. It lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is little to no movement in the record arm. The sound produced is enjoyable with no distortion caused by excessive use and no skips, sticks or annoying clicks. There was no serious surface noise and or major interference but there was the odd splutter in places and the occasional minor noise. Overall the audio would be a solid VG+ inline with the visual grading.

The gatefold sleeve is in very good condition. It has no tears, scuffs or splits but has general signs of age and handling. There is edge wear all round, which has affected the title on the spine. The edges are all still solid enough however. Other than the edge wear there is also a pen mark(name) to the front, fading to each side, fading to the inside of the gatefold and a ring mark/fade to the rear. Overall a solid sleeve but one that is showing signs of its age. I have tried to describe the sleeve as best I can but please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible.

Its original inner was missing and so the record will be sent in a brand new plain white replacement inner.

The record will be packaged in between 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.
