  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 spindle marks visible on the labels. There is also a small white sticker to side 1 and a sticker removal mark and scuff showing on side 2(see pics). Overall the labels are not perfect what with the sticker/marks but all text is legible and they are still bright and clean.

As for the vinyl itself both sides have signs of use and age showing(more so when angled) but also have nothing nasty, deep or major. There is light lines in places, minor light marks and general signs of age and handling. There is nothing nasty or really extreme however and overall it is used but is still in good playing condition.

I play tested the record and it played tidily overall with no major issues or serious levels of interference. It lays flat on the deck and there is little to no movement in the record arm upon playing. It has no skips, sticks or loud annoying clicks but there was some minor interference in parts. Firstly there was a light amount of surface noise in the run ins and mellow 'fade in' intros to each side. This was only light but can be heard softly in parts. There was also 8 very light but just audible tics halfway into track 1 on side 1. These are caused by a small line. They can be heard lightly for a period but are not loud nasty clicks and are not very disruptive. Other than these light tics there was the odd light amount of surface noise in places and the occasional splutter in some of the quieter parts of 'Echoes' but nothing extreme. Overall a solid and tidy listen which would easily match the VG visual grading in my opinion.

The gatefold sleeve(fully textured inside and outside) is in very good condition. It has no stand out issues such as tears, splits or pen marks and is solid all round. It does have signs of its age however with rubbing to the edges, corners and spine. The spine shows the heaviest levels of wear, with the title in the middle rubbed off. Other than the edge wear there is also light fading to each side and a small discreet scuff to the rear bottom left area. Inside the gatefold has no major issues but has some light age related grubbiness or faint age spots in places. I have tried to describe the sleeve as best I can but please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible.

It includes its original poly-lined Harvest inner which is solid with no major issues but has some creasing, age related discolouring and general signs of age. The record will of course be sent in a brand new plain white replacement inner to ensure it remains clean and ready to play.

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.

Many thanks for looking.
