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 spindle marks and wear to the labels. They are not loose or excessively worn but there is signs of use and age to them with wear around the centres and spindle marks to both sides. There are no pen marks, scuffs, stains or severe levels of fading and all text is still legible. Overall the labels are not pristine but are also far from awful with no really major issues, just general age/use related issues.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides still have a nice lustre but do have some marks, lines and general signs of use/age to them. There is a feelable scratch across tracks 2 and 3 on side 2, mottled areas to both sides, wispy lines, sleeve marks and some other non-feelable lines. Overall a vinyl that is used and has signs of this but also still has a decent lustre. Despite having the feelable scratch on side 2 as mentioned it still seems to have life in it and is not covered in nasty marks or really nasty scratches.

I play tested the record and it produced audio that was enjoyable throughout but as you can imagine was also not entirely pristine. Firstly it lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is little to no movement in the record arm.

The audio produced is a strong grade of VG in my opinion and would easily match the visual grading. There is some surface noise in the run ins on both sides and a light amount between some tracks. There is no skips, sticks or obvious tics however, with the feelable scratch mentioned above(on side 2) having little to no noticeable affect. I noted a hint of distortion in parts of side 1 but nothing at all major or serious. Other than the odd hint of distortion it plays tidily throughout with no major or disruptive issues and enjoyable that can certainly be enjoyed and is as I say a strong grade of VG.

The front laminated flipback sleeve is in very good condition. It is solid all round with no splits or tears but does have signs of age and handling.

Firstly there is a pen mark(Bond written) to the rear top area. There is also age related discolouring and grubbiness to the rear. There is also some wear and creasing on the flipbacks and creasing in parts. The front appears tidy enough but does have some creasing to the bottom right corner areas and minor creases dotted around. The spine is all legible and is solid but there is some wear to all four corners. Overall a sleeve that has general signs of its age but also not splits, tears or really major problems. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible on the sleeves condition.

It contains its original poly-lined 'Use Emitex' inner which is in very good condition with no tears, splits or pen marks but with age related discolouring/grubbiness and general signs of age. The record will be sent in a brand new plain white replacement to ensure it remains clean and ready to play.

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 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.
