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. There are a few spindle marks on the labels, but not an excessive amount. There are no pen marks on either side but there is some faint 'mottling' caused by the poly lined inner. This is fairly minor however and only really visible when you tilt into light.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are really clean, with little visible in normal light, just one light hairline on either side. When viewed under very bright white light, there are a few more extremely minor wispy lines as to be expected with a record of this age, but nothing remotely serious or deep. There is also a strange blotch visible on side 2 in bright light, but this isn't serious. The record has no scuffs, and has a beautiful vivid shine. It is in superb condition for its age and has been very well looked after.

I carefully play tested the record on my system(SME 3009 tonearm, Technics Deck and Ortofon stylus)and it plays near perfectly. It lays flat and there is next to no movement in the record arm. The sound produced is superb; its crisp, dynamic and has virtually no interference other than a trace of static in the run in. There are obviously no skips, jumps, clicks or any other musical interference. Its an audio experience of great quality.

The laminated gatefold sleeve is in excellent+ condition. It has some slight wear to the edges and corners(pics), but the writing along the spine is all clearly legible. There are no splits, tears or scuffs anywhere, it is in great shape. There are only a few minor creases to the laminate, with a few short creases emanating from the spine, and a couple on the back in the bottom right corner. Inside the gatefold is great, with no pen marks, scuffs, ring marks and little to report other than a crease along the spine area. There is an extremely faint ring mark just visible on the back, but this is really minor, and is only really visible when tilted. Also on the back, well inside the record housing really, is a small 'S' in pen. This is directly under the indicator hole, and so can be seen when the inner is removed completely.

It includes its original blue poly-lined stereo inner sleeve which is in very good+ condition with no splits, tears or pen marks. It does however have ring marks visible, some discolouring and some other age related grubbiness.

The record will be packaged in cardboard stiffeners and bubble wrapped thoroughly when dispatched. It will also be sent within 24hrs of payment to ensure swift delivery.

I hope my photos are comprehensive enough but if you have any questions then don't hesitate to contact me. I can also supply an audio clip if required, just ask.
