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 a few 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 are generally nice and clean with nothing at all serious or obvious showing in normal light. There is light wispy lines, sleeve marks and general signs of age/handling showing on both sides however. These show clearly when viewed under bright light. There is no stand out marks or scratches and overall it is a used vintage lp in good playable condition but with signs of its age and use.

I play tested the record and it played tidily with no major issues or serious levels of interference but was also not pristine. It lays flat, there is little to no movement in the record arm upon playing and the sound produced is a solid grade of excellent-. There is no distortion caused by excessive use and no skips, sticks or annoying clicks. There was some light surface noise in some places however. I noted some in the run ins, between some tracks and a little in the quieter parts/intros such as track 2(side 1). Overall it was an enjoyable listen with no major issues but some occasional light surface noise and minor splutters in places.

The sleeve is in very good+ condition. It is generally tidy but has some signs of age. There are no tears, splits, scuffs or pen marks but there is some rubbing to parts of the edges. The spine and top edge are both still legible and strong however. There is some light creasing to both sides, a bent/crease to the front bottom left corner and some ring marks showing to both sides. There is also some light fading to both sides. Overall a solid and generally presentable sleeve but one that has signs of age as I have tried to outline. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible on its condition.

It includes its original EMI inner which is in excellent- condition. This has no splits, tears or pen mark but has some light discolouring, minor creasing and a date stamped to one side. The record will be sent in a brand new plain white replacement inner to ensure no damage occurs to the original. 

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.

All offers are considered and are more than welcome.

Many thanks for looking.
