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.

These records are in good+ condition. There are spindle marks on each of the the labels and also some wear around the centres. They are not excessively worn however and do not shake or cause issues when playing. There is no stains, scuffing or fading but there is pen marks on the lower half of both sides of record 1. Overall the labels show signs of use but are not awful and have all text legible.

As for the vinyl itself, all four sides show signs of use with light surface lines, scuffs, marks areas of wear and general marking. They are not perfect visually and have lines, marks and signs of use present. They both still have a nice enough lustre but are used and have marks, lines and scuffing as I say. I have tried to capture some of the marks in the pictures so please view these.

I play tested the record and although not a perfect listen it played better than I thought and has no really major issues(skips or sticks). I noted the following on each side(with a rough grade of the audio on each side).

Side 1: Light noises sporadically through tracks 1 and 2. Some surface noise in the run in, between tracks, and the intro to track 3. General audio despite these issues is not too bad and would grade as VG.

Side 2: This has light surface noise in the run in and also has the worst of any interference on the album. There is a small mark in track 1 that causes light tics that sound for around the first third of the track. They are not really loud but can be heard. Other than these it plays with solid VG+ audio.

Side 3: The whole side plays decent with no stand out issues. It is not perfect and has some surface noise but no major issues. Audio closer to EX- on this side.

Side 4:Light surface noise in the run in and between tracks. No other stand out issues and again audio closer to a grade of EX-.

So overall a used and slightly neglected UK 1st press that plays well enough for the most part. It is not perfect visually and does not produce perfect audio but can still be played and enjoyed.

The 'cut out' sleeve is in very good- condition. It has wear, rubbing and general signs of handling and age to the edges and corners. The worst of this is at the top left of the spine or near the record entry side. The wear here has caused a 1" split down from the corner. Other than this area the sleeve is solid with no splits or weak areas. There is a fair bit of rubbing to the other edges however with the text on the side not legible. Other than the edges there is also creasing in places and some damage to the rear top left corner area(2nd window down). There is also light fading and mild ring marks showing on the rear. So overall not a perfect sleeve but one that despite its issues is still solid and has no really nasty 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 as to its condition.

It contains both its original picture inners which are in excellent- condition with no splits or tears. There is wear to the centre of the bottom edge on each but luckily no split has occurred. Other than the wear in places there is light creasing and also pen marks to the bottom right corner of each side(on both). I will send the records in clean, plain white replacements to ensure the originals remain in the condition they are now.

Also included is its original lyrics insert. This is in very god condition with no tears but with age spots and discolouring/staining to each side. There is also a pen mark in the bottom corner of one side.

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.
