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 very good+ condition. It has some spindle marks visible on the labels but there is not an excessive amount. There is pen marks to each side however and some slight wear around the centres. Overall the labels are fully legible and in tidy condition but are of course not perfect with the pen marks and spindle marks as mentioned.

As for the vinyl itself, both sides are generally nice and clean with nothing at all serious or obvious showing in normal light. There is light wispy lines, sleeve marks and general signs of age/handling showing on both sides however. These show more obviously when viewed under bright light. There is no stand out marks or scratches and overall it is a used vintage lp in good playable condition, with a nice lustre but with some signs of its age.

I play tested the record and it played tidily with no major issues or serious levels of interference. It lays flat, there is little to no movement in the record arm upon playing and the sound produced is a solid grade of VG+. There is no major distortion caused by excessive use and no skips, sticks or annoying clicks. There was some light surface noise in some places however. I noted some in the run ins, between some tracks and a little in the quieter parts/intros of some tracks. Overall it was an enjoyable listen with no major issues but some occasional light surface noise and minor splutters in places.

The laminated gatefold sleeve is in excellent condition. There are no tears, splits or pen marks but there is some general signs of age/storage showing. Firstly there is a few minor creases in the laminate showing on both sides. There is also very slight wear along the bottom edge and slight bruising to the corners. The spine is square, straight and all clearly legible. Inside the gatefold the booklet is firmly attached and has no pen marks or tears. It is generally tidy but does have a small 1" squared scuff to the last past. Overall a solid and tidy sleeve with no really major issues but some signs of age and handling. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible on its condition.

It includes its original Red Mono inner which is in very good condition. This has no splits, tears or pen mark but has some discolouring, creasing and fading. The record will be sent in a brand new anti-static replacement inner to ensure the record remains clean and ready to play. 

The record will 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.
