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 just very faint spindle marks visible on the labels and there are no pen marks, scuffs or any other damage such as stains or fading. The centres show only very slight wear and are not loose or worn. Overall the labels are clean, bright and in great shape.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides have a lovely lustre and have nothing remotely deep or serious showing in normal light. There is some light lines, minor sleeve 'scuffs' and light signs of age/use showing in places however. These and also a few more thin light wispy lines or faint sleeve marks are visible under bright light but again nothing deep. So overall the record is used and has light signs of this but also still has a lovely lustre and shows nothing nasty.

I play tested the record and it played well. It lays flat on the deck and there is next to no movement in the record arm upon playing. The audio produced has no distortion caused by excessive use and no skips, sticks or serious tics. There was also no major levels of surface noise and the general audio was a solid 'EX' grade in my opinion. I did pick up on a few small things however. Firstly there was very light surface noise in the run in and intro to side 1 and also the odd splutter on side 1. Side 2 has around 3 or 4 light 'sshsss' sounds in the run in and 1 just audible at the vert start of the intro. These are minor of course and other than these there was just the odd splutter in parts(quieter track 3 for example). Overall it plays nicely throughout however with no serious issues or problematic interference.

The sleeve is in excellent condition. It has some wear and creasing to the edges and corners but the writing along the spine is still clearly legible. There are no tears, scuffs or pen marks but there is some light creasing in places(front top right corner). Other than the light edge wear and minor creasing there is very slight ring marks and minor fading but nothing serious. Overall it is still clean, bright and in nice tidy condition all round. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible.

It includes its original plain white inner which is in very good condition. This has no splits or pen marks but has some creasing, mild discolouring and a small 1cm tear to the top edge on one side.

Also included is its original lyrics insert. This is in very good+ condition with no tears or pen marks but with some creasing around the edges and light discolouring.

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.
