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 faint spindle marks or rubbing visible on each label but there are no pen marks, scuffs or stains anywhere. There is also little to no fading to the iconic Atlantic labels and only a touch of wear to the centre holes. These are not loose or worn, and overall they are in great shape.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are very clean overall and have nothing remotely serious showing in normal light. There is the occasional very thin light wispy line and some minor 'sleeve scuffs' or  'mottling' visible. These minor lines and mild signs of use show under bright light but there is again nothing sinister, deep or serious. So overall a vintage used record which is in very good shape for its age and has no nasty scuffs, serious marks or blemishes but has slight signs of use.

I play tested the record and it played very well overall and produced very enjoyable audio with excellent clarity. It lays flat, there is little to no movement in the record arm and the sound produced is free of any major issues and next to no interference in general. There is no distortion caused by excessive use and no skips, sticks or annoying clicks. There is a hint of minor surface noise in the run in/out and a touch between songs but on the whole the audio is clear, crisp and of excellent quality. Both sides have the most minor amount of surface noise(as per all vinyls) in the near silent parts but this really is minor. Even side 2, track 1, which is incredibly mellow and soft in parts has no major interference and plays really well indeed. Overall it was a pleasure to play test and produced audio of very high quality with excellent clarity.

The front laminated sleeve is in very good condition. It has age related rubbing and wear to the edges and corners, and the writing along the spine is now no longer legible. There are no splits or weak areas anywhere however and no tears or scuffs. There is no pen marks on the sleeve but there is age related discolouring or grubbiness to the non laminated rear. There is also some creasing and ring marks showing on the front. So overall a vintage sleeve which is not pristine but is still strong and has no major structural issues. I have tried to describe the sleeve as best I can but please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible on its condition.

It includes its original plain inner which is in very good condition. This has no tears, splits or pen marks but does have severe yellowing or age related discolouring. There is also some creasing and ring marks to it. I will include the original but also supply a cleaner plain white replacement.

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.
