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 near mint condition. It has just a few(4-5) very light spindle marks visible on the labels but no scuffs or fading anywhere. There is no pen marks and the centres are not loose. Overall the labels are in great shape with little to report other than the few minor faint spindle marks.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are free from anything remotely serious, have a lovely gloss and are really clean overall. There is just one extremly light minor line visible on side 2 and much shorter one on side 1 just about showing in normal light. There is nothing remotely serious or at all major as I say. These light thin lines and a few more incredibly minor wispy lines are visible under very bright white light but again nothing remotely sinister.  The record has no nasty scuffs or blemishes and has a beautiful vivid shine. 

I play tested the record and it plays near faultlessly with superb audio throughout. It lays flat but there is the most minor fraction of upward movement in the record arm on both sides. This is incredibly minor however and of course has no affect on the sound produced which is fantastic throughout as I say. Its crisp, defined and really clear with little to no interference audible. There is maybe the most minor hint in the run in and very occasionally the most minor amount possible between some songs but even this is mild and the vast majority is completely surface noise free. There are of course no skips, sticks or clicks and no pops or any other serious issues. It was a thoroughly enjoyable play test and produced audio of very high quality.

The iconic gatefold sleeve is in excellent+ condition. It has little to no wear to the edges and corners(pics), and has just recently been removed from its shrink wrap. The writing along the spine is of course clear and fully legible and the sleeve is in great shape all round. There are however a couple of minor issues that I will try to explain. Firstly as it was in its original shrink until very recently this sometimes 'tightens' and causes pressure on the sleeve. This has occured on this occasion and has resulted in some slight 'wavy' areas or bending. I have tried to take pictures of this above but it was quite tricky as it is fairly minor. Other than this there is 2 small faint yellow age spots in the middle of the rear. These are very minor and the only age spots on the whole sleeve. Overall it is clean, bright, has no tears, scuffs or pen marks and has its original sticker present. There is little to no discolouring and overall it in great shape. I have tried to capture the sleeves issues as best I can in the pictures provided so please study these to gain as much information as possible.

It includes its original lyric inner in excellent condition with no splits, tears or pen marks and very little creasing or ring marks. There is however some faint 'age spots' or mottling in places. This is by no means drastic but is noticable and so I have lowered grading to compensate for these.

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.
