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 excellent+ condition. It has only a few(3 or 4) spindle marks visible on each label and no pen marks, scuffs, fading or any other damage. The centres are not loose or worn and overall the iconic pink rim Island labels are in great shape.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are beautifully clean and are appear near spotless in normal light. There are a few incredibly light wispy lines visible under very bright white light but not many at all and of course nothing remotely serious. There is however one small spot or blemish in track 1 on side 2. This is very hard to see but nevertheless it is there. So overall the record has no scuffs, scratches or serious marks and has a beautiful vivid shine. It is in great shape and has been very well cared for.

I did play test the record and it played really well with excellent audio throughout but with one short minor issue caused by the spot/blemish mentioned above. Firstly it lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is only a fraction of upward movement noticeable in the record arm. This is very minor however and of course has no affect on the sound produced which is superb. Its crisp, dynamic and very clear with only a trace of surface noise or interference, with only the most minimal amount audible in the run in and between some tracks. There are obviously no skips or sticks and overall it produces audio of excellent clarity and definition. It does however have the short issue in track 1 on side 2. This comes in the form of a short series of light ticks caused by the spot. These are not really loud but can be heard as they occur in a very mellow part of the audio. On my count I heard 5 before they passed and the audio returned to its quality, normal state. Overall the play test was excellent and it suffered from no major issues with just these few light ticks to fault it on.

The gatefold sleeve(non-laminated) is in near mint condition. It has just the most minimal amount of wear to the edges and corners(pics), and the writing along the spine is all clearly legible. It is clean, bright and has a strong spine. There are no tears, scuffs or pen marks anywhere and is superb condition all round. There is little to no creasing evident and barely any ring marks showing. There is a couple of very minor small light black marks in places but these are minor and overall it is superb. Inside the gatefold is clean, bright and has no issues at all. I have tried to describe the sleeve as best I can but please study the pictures provided to gain as much as information as possible as to its condition.

It contains its original plain white inner in excellent condition. This has no splits, tears or pen marks but has light creasing and mild age related 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 ensure swift delivery.
