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 excellent+ condition. It has just a few faint spindle marks visible on the labels and there are no pen marks, scuffs, fading or staining anywhere. The centres show no serious wear and are not loose or worn. Overall the labels are clean, bright and in very nice shape. 

As for the vinyl itself, both sides have a lovely lustre and show little. There is a couple of faint wispy lines just about visible when angled in normal light but there is nothing remotely serious or obvious. Overall it is in really nice condition with nothing at all obvious or major and just very slight signs of use to its playing surfaces.

I play tested the record and it played very well throughout. It does however have some arm movement noticeable. This is not huge and has no affect on the audio produced which is really good but there is a slight raise or 'bob' in the arm on both sides. It is slightly more pronounced on side 1 with less again on side 2. Due to this small arm movement and the traces of use to the vinyl I have graded at EX+.

The audio produced is excellent however with really good clarity and of course no skips, sticks or annoying tics. There was little to no surface noise and next to no interference of any sort. Overall a really good sounding UK 1st press with minimal wear to the record but the slight superficial arm movement to consider.

The gatefold sleeve is in excellent+ condition. It is generally nice and tidy with no splits, tears, scuffs or pen marks. It does have some slight rubbing to the edges, spine and corners however. This is not at an extreme level but the spine does show some light wear(see pics). Other than the slight wear on parts of the edges there is also a few minor areas of creasing around the front top right corner area. There is barely any ring marks showing and next to no fading or discolouring. Overall a nice tidy sleeve with just minor wear to the edges and the slight creasing as mentioned. 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.r

It includes its original rounded corner red lyric inner which is visually excellent but does have a small 1" split in the centre of the bottom edge and a 1" split in the left edge. The record will be sent in a brand new anti static inner to ensure no further wear occurs to the original.

The record will then 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.
