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 very good+ condition. It has spindle marks visible on the labels but not a drastic amount and there are no pen marks, scuffs or fading. There is minimal wear to the centre holes and these are not loose or worn. Overall the labels are clean, bright and in good shape.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are free from anything serious with no nasty marks or scratches but there is light surface lines and some light scratches visible on both sides. These signs of use and age along with some more incredibly light wispy lines are visible under very bright white light but again there is nothing sinister or deep. Overall the record is free of major marks or defects and has a nice lustre but does have some light lines and marks due to age and use.

I play tested the record and it plays well and was an enjoyable listen. It lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is little to no movement in the record arm. The sound produced is an easy grade of VG+ with no major issues and only minor interference in the form of occasional minor amounts of surface noise. There are no skips, sticks or clicks but there is some light surface noise in the run in and between some songs but nothing at all drastic. There is also nothing at a level to be massively disruptive to the audio and the general audio is much closer to excellent. Overall despite the signs of use and age the record still produces audio of good quality that although not completely pristine I thoroughly enjoyed during the play test. 

The front laminated sleeve is in very good+ condition. It has only minor wear and 'denting' to the edges and corners with the text along the spine all still clearly legible. There are no tears, scuffs or pen marks anywhere and the sleeve is solid all round. There is a partially removed sticker on the rear however(top right corner area) and also some age related grubbiness and discolouring. There is also mild ring marks to each side and some slight creasing to the front. All these issues can be noticed but are not extreme and overall the sleeve is solid all round for its age. I have tried to describe the sleeve as best I can but please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible as to its condition.

It contains a plain white inner(this is a replacement and seems to partially stick out the end of the sleeve due to the sleeves smaller size) which is in excellent- condition. It has no splits, tears or pen marks but has light creasing, minor ring marks and some 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.

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.
