MATRIX No’s

The front laminated cover is in excellent condition with some minor wear on the corners and a very small area of ring wear, but without any laminate lifting.

The spine is in excellent condition with all text readable, and has not flattened

The rear laminated cover is in excellent condition. There is a small area of ring wear, but no writing or stickers on the cover. There is no laminate lifting on the reverse cover and there are no flip backs.

The Fontana silver and black labels are in excellent condition with a few spindle marks and the labels are without stickers, tears or heavy wear.

The 'Plastic Bags Can Be Dangerous' polyliner sleeve is in excellent condition, with some aging, but without tears or cut throughs. There is a small circle in blue pen on one side.

Visually, the record is in very good condition and retains a deep glossy sheen with no signs that the record has been excessively played. There are some surface marks but these do not cause any major problems. There are no excessive loud pops, clicks, skips or sticks and the record lies flat on the turntable.

Overall I am grading the playing quality in excellent condition

The record has been played very loud through headphones to achieve the fairest and most accurate grading and will probably sound even better through an amp and speakers
