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 excellent condition. It has spindle marks visible on the labels but no pen marks, scuffs, fading or staining anywhere. The centres show light wear but are not loose or worn. Overall the labels are clean, bright and in nice enough shape but with the spindle marks as mentioned. 

As for the vinyl itself, both sides have a lovely lustre and show only light signs of use in normal light with no nasty scratches or marks evident. There is some very light surface lines and very minor light 'sleeve marks' in places and also some 'general superficial mottling' in parts. It is excellent overall and has nothing remotely nasty or serious showing, just general light signs of use and age. So overall a used vintage record which has no nasty scuffs or serious marks and has a lovely vivid lustre. It does have some light signs of use and minor lines in places but these are minor. 

I play tested the record and it played really well with excellent clarity for such a mellow album. It lays flat on the deck but upon playing there is a very slight amount of arm movement noticeable. This is very slight and of course has no affect on the audio produced which is excellent throughout. There are no skips, sticks or disruptive tics and little to no surface noise. The album is very mellow and even in the very quiet parts there is little interference audible. Side 2 audio maybe has the odd most minor splutter in parts but nothing at al serious. Side 1 plays even better than this and both sides are strong grades of EX audibly.. Overall for a very mellow folk album of over 45 years old I think it plays remarkably well.

The fully laminated sleeve is in excellent condition. It has some light wear to the edges and corners but the writing along the spine is still legible. There are no splits and the sleeve is still strong all round. There are no tears, scuffs or pen marks but there is faint ring marks showing on each side when angled. There is also short laminate creases near the edges. Overall it is still clean, bright, strong and in excellent condition however with just general signs of age really. 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.

Its contains its original plain white poly-lined inner which is solid with no splits, tears or pen marks but does have some creasing and age related grubbiness/discolouring to it. The record will be sent in a brand new plain white replacement to ensure it remains clean and fresh.

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.

Many thanks for looking.
