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 near mint condition. It has some light and faint spindle marks visible on both the labels but there are no pen marks, scuffs or any other damage such as stains or fading. The centres are not loose or worn and overall the labels are clean, bright and in good shape but with some spindle marks as mentioned.
As for the vinyl itself, both sides are really clean with a lovely lustre and nothing remotely serious showing. There is some very faint and very minor slight signs of use showing under bright light but again nothing at all sinister. Overall it is in really nice condition with nothing more than the odd most minor faint line showing in normal light and nothing at all serious or sinister to either side.
I play tested the record and it played very well. It lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is little to no movement in the record arm. The audio produced is excellent throughout with no distortion caused by excessive use and of course no skips, sticks or annoying clicks. There was nothing more than the most minimal hint of surface noise in the odd quiet part(intro track 1 side 1) but even this was slight and on the whole it plays great. It has no serious interference whatsoever and was a nice listen throughout with nice clarity and minimal interference of any sort.
The sleeve also has the UK 1st pressing misprint on the rear of the sleeve. This is that the black dot between tracks 'Accept Yourself' and 'Girl Afraid' is missing.
It includes its original blue lyrics inner which is in excellent condition. This is strong and has no splits or pen marks. It has light ring marks and also a small 5mm tear to the rear top left corner/flipback. I will send the record in a brand new plain white replacement to ensure no damage occurs to the original.
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.
