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 light spindle marks visible on the labels but there are no pen marks, stains or fading. Overall the labels are clean, bright and in good shape.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides show some signs of use and age but also have no stand out nasty or deep scratches. There is some long light lines showing however and also general handling/use marks with wispy lines and sleeve marking showing. There is also a small 3mm mark at the end of track 2 and into track 3 on side 1 that can be lightly felt. Overall a used vintage lp that is not prefect visually but also is not completely battered and is still in decent playing condition.

I play tested the record and it played tidily overall but was not a perfect listen and there was some interference in places. Firstly it lays flat and there is little to no movement in the record arm upon playing. The audio produced is a solid grade of VG with no skips or sticks and no major loud annoying tics. Saying this however there is a light period of tics at the end of track 2 due the small mark mentioned about. There is around 4 at the very end of track 2, 4 between the tracks and 4 at the very start of track 3. They do sound and can be heard but are not really loud. Other than this fairly minor issue there is also light surface noise in the run ins on both sides and a little between tracks and in some of the quieter passages. There is also the occasional noise and splutter during play. There is nothing extreme however and I enjoyed the whole play test, and as I say it is a solid VG listen overall.

The sleeve is in excellent+ condition. It is very tidy all round with no tears, splits, scuffs or pen marks and hardly any wear or rubbing to the edges and corners. The spine and top edge are both still clearly legible and there is no major ring marks or creasing showing. There is very slight fading in places but overall the sleeve is a nice clean example. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible on its condition.

It includes its original EMI inner which is in very good condition. This has a 2.5 inch split to the centre of the bottom edge and some general signs of age. The record will be sent in a brand new plain white replacement inner.

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.
