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 excellent condition. There are spindle marks on each label but no pen marks or fading anywhere. There is a small scuff on the label of side 1 however. Other than this and the few spindle marks there is no major issues and they are all still in decent shape.

As for the vinyl itself, all four sides have a vivid shine and have nothing at all deep or serious visible in normal light. There is a few light lines, minor marks and the odd faint 'sleeve scuff' showing in places but nothing nasty. When viewed under very bright light these signs of use and age do show along with a few more wispy lines, but not a drastic amount and again nothing sinister. The records have no nasty scuffs, serious marks or blemishes, have a lovely vivid shine and for their age are in good condition. 

I play tested both the records and they both played very well. They lay flat with little to no movement in the record arm and the sound produced on all four sides is free of skips, jumps or clicks. There was also no major surface noise audible but there is the odd light splutter in places. This is very mild however and overall I enjoyed all four sides. There is nothing at all disruptive on any side and the most serious thing I noted was a series of around 5 or 6 light thuds in track 7 on side 4. Overall both would easily grade as EX audibly in my opinion.

The gatefold sleeve is in excellent condition. It has wear to the spine and corners which has caused a 1" split up from the bottom corner(see pics). Other than this the spine does show some wear but is still solid enough. The other edges show only light wear(a minor amount on bottom edges) and the writing along them is all clearly legible. There are no tears, scuffs or pen marks anywhere and no serious creasing or major ring marks. There is only mild discolouring in places and other than the issue with the spine the sleeve is clean and tidy enough all round. I have tried to describe the sleeve as best I can but please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible.

It contains both its original Reprise inners which are in very good condition. Both have creasing and ring marks while one also has a 2" split to the bottom edge which has been taped.
