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.

These records are in good+ condition. There are only a few light spindle marks on each label and no pen marks, scuffs or fading anywhere. The centres show a little wear but not much and are not loose or worn. Overall all four of the the labels are in great shape with little to report. 

As for the vinyl itself, all sides appear very clean overall and all have a lovely vivid gloss. There is the occasional light line showing on all four sides but overall they are clean. However there is one stand out line on side 1 in track 2. This is the reason for low grading as this can be felt and does cause issues to the audio(see below). It is such a shame about this nasty line as otherwise all the sides show only light lines and mild signs of use. It is there though and it not going anywhere now! Please see below for details of impact of this scratch and play test results.

I play tested both the records and they produce excellent audio with little to no surface noise or interference but a serious issue in track 2 on side 1. This is caused by the mark mentioned above and causes the record to stick about halfway through the track. You then have to move the arm past the scratch as otherwise it just sticks again. Therefore the second half of track 2 is lost and basically you need to restart from track 3. Obviously this is not ideal and as a result I have graded low. If you can live with this issue however then the rest of the album, side 1 track 3 onwards to end of side 4 plays excellent with great, clear and defined audio. There are no further sticks, no skips and no clicks. There is actually very little interference of any sort with only the most minimal amount of surface noise between some tracks. Overall the album was a great listen but has the serious issue in track 2 as mentioned.

The gatefold sleeve is in very good condition. It has wear to the edges and corners(pics), but the writing along the spine is still just about legible. There are no splits, tears, scuffs or pen marks anywhere and overall it is clean and solid all round. It does however have ring marks and fading to both sides and also some slight creasing in places. So overall a solid enough sleeve but with some age related wear and tear showing. 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 contains both its original plain white inners which are in a similar excellent condition. Neither has splits, tears or pen marks but both do have some very light creasing and mild wear.

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.
