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 a few faint spindle marks visible on the labels but there are no pen marks, stains or fading. There is no scuffs anywhere and overall the labels are clean, bright and in nice shape.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are free from anything major or deep but have some light lines and signs of use showing. There are a few faint lines, minor sleeve marks and general handling marks/lines showing in places but again nothing deep or nasty. So overall a used lp that has some signs of this but also is free of anything serious or major. 

I play tested the record and it played tidily throughout. It lays flat, there is no movement in the record arm upon playing, and the sound produced is excellent. There is no distortion caused by excessive use and no skips, sticks or annoying clicks. There was a minor trace of surface noise in the run ins on each side, a little in the quiet intro to side 1 and a touch between tracks, but there was nothing extreme or major. Overall a good solid listen with no major issues and just traces of surface noise in parts. 

The gatefold sleeve is in excellent+ condition. It has just very slight rubbing or wear to the edges and corners with the writing along the spine all legible. There are of course no splits, and no tears, scuffs or pen marks anywhere. There is hardly any creasing and no obvious or serious ring marks. It is generally clean and tidy all round but has some minor signs of age/handling to the rear with some faint marks and 'minor lines'. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible on its condition.

It includes its original picture inner which is in excellent condition. This has no splits or pen marks and overall very little sign of handling. It has hardly any creasing or ring marks but has a small discreet 1cm tear to the top edge of one side. I will send the record in a brand new plain white replacement to ensure no damage occurs to the original during transit.

The record will be packaged in between 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.

All offers are considered and are more than welcome.

Many thanks for looking.
