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.

These records are in near mint condition. I can see one short spindle mark on the label of side 3 but none on the others. There are no pen marks, scuffs or fading anywhere on any label and the centres are not loose at all. Overall the labels are in superb condition and have little to nothing to report.

As for the vinyl itself, all sides are beautifully clean, have a vivid gloss and have next to nothing visible in normal light. There is the maybe the odd occasional extremely light short wispy line or incredibly faint sleeve scuff showing but hardly anything at all really and nothing remotely sinister. When viewed in very bright white light these incredibly minor light lines along with a few more show but none of these are remotely sinister or serious. The records have no nasty scuffs, major marks or scratches or serious blemishes. Both have a stunning vivid gloss and are in superb condition overall with very little sign of use.

I carefully play tested both the records and they played really well with superb audio throughout. They flat on the deck but upon playing you can see the slightest amount of upward movement in the record arm for the first track. This really is minor and of course has no affect at all on the audio but there must be the slightest possible outer warp to both. As I say it is so minor and has no affect on the audio which is crisp, dynamic and other than the most minuscule trace in the run in has little to no interference or surface noise. There are obviously no skips, jumps, clicks or any other serious issues. Overall it was a thoroughly enjoyable play test and produced audio of high quality and clarity throughout all four sides and again gave no real sign of regular use.

The gatefold sleeve is in near mint condition. It has next to no wear to the edges and corners(pics), and the writing along the spine is all clearly legible. There are no splits, tears, scuffs or pen marks anywhere and overall it is clean, bright and in stunning condition. Inside the gatefold is immaculate and there is barely a crease anywhere on the sleeve. The only things I can see to mention, which are very minor, but there nonetheless, are a faint indentation on the rear near left edge and another even fainter indentation on the front near the centre. These are only visible when tilted however and overall the sleeve is in stunning condition. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible as to its condition.

It contains both of its inners which are in near mint condition. They have no splits, tears or pen marks, next to no creasing and only faint ring marks. I will supply the records in 2 brand new plain white replacements to ensure no damage occurs to the originals during transit.

Also included is its original merchandising insert. This is in excellent+ condition with no major problems but 2 creases where it must have got caught in the gatefold I assume.

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.

All offers are considered and are more than welcome.

Many thanks for looking.
