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 spindle marks visible on the labels but there are no pen marks, stains or scuffs. The centres do show some wear but are not excessively loose or worn. Overall the 'red spot' RCA labels show some signs of use and age but are still tidy enough.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are generally nice and clean overall with nothing at all major or deep showing in normal light. There is a few thin light wispy lines and faint marks visible but not a lot and of course nothing deep or serious. So overall this vintage used record is in nice condition, has a lovely lustre but does show some signs of use and age.

I play tested the record and it sounded great throughout. It must have a slight warp of some degree however as upon playing the record arm does seem to raise a little. This is not extreme but can be noticed visually. It is not severe enough to cause any issues to the sound produced which is excellent as I say. There is no distortion caused by excessive use and no skips, sticks or annoying clicks. There was also very little surface noise audible with nothing more than the odd most minimal faint splutter in some parts. Overall it was a pleasure to play test and produced audio of nice clarity throughout but does have the slight arm movement to consider.  

The front laminated sleeve is in excellent- condition. It has only mild wear to the edges and corners with the writing along the spine all clearly legible. There are no splits, and no tears, scuffs or pen marks anywhere. There is just very minor ring marks showing but there is a few creases to the laminated front. This creasing is not extreme but there is some showing in the top left corner area and also around the edges. Other than this the rear has some age related grubbiness/discolouring to it. This is again not horrific for a album of this age but the white areas have 'browned' somewhat. Overall a strong and tidy sleeve with no serious issues but some signs of age and handing as outlined. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible as to its condition.

It includes its original poly-lined inner which is in very good condition. This has no splits, tears or pen marks but has creasing and 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 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.
