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 does have some spindle marks visible on the labels but neither side has pen marks, scuffs or any other damage such as stains or fading. The centres are not loose and overall the labels are clean, bright and in great shape with just the spindle marks to report.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are very clean, have a vivid gloss and actually little showing in normal light. There is a few small thin minor lines but these are very slight and not sinister in the slightest. There are a few more wispy lines evident under very bright light but again nothing remotely serious. Overall the record is in great shape with no scuffs, marks or blemishes and a beautiful vivid shine.

I play tested the record and it plays really well for the vast majority and has just one small issue. Firstly it lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is next to no movement in the record arm. The audio produced is of superb clarity and definition from start to finish with little to no surface noise or interference audible. It does however have one very quick skip near to the end of track 1 on side 1. I had to reply again and again to make sure it was there as it minor and doesn't massively stand out. Nevertheless it is there and so had to be mentioned. I searched the area to find what was causing it, and failed. I cannot see any scratches, blemishes or groove damage that causes it and so do think it may be a slight manufacturing defect. As I say however I did hear this one skip at the end of track 1 but other than this the album played from start to finish with top grade audio. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed the whole play test but with the small skip as one minor fault or defect. 

The sleeve is in excellent condition. It has some rubbing and wear to the edges(mainly bottom edge) and corners but the writing along the spine all clearly legible. There are of course no splits and no tears or pen marks anywhere. There is only slight creasing, very faint ring marks showing and it is clean and bright. There is however a small scuff to the front top right corner area. Overall it is excellent however with only light wear and this small scuff as mentioned. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible on its condition.

It includes its original plain white poly-lined inner which is in very good+ condition. This has no splits, tears or pen marks but some minor 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.
