This has been play graded from start to finish at volume and both sides played through really well without jumping or sticking. The clarity of the audio was superb throughout; bright and crisp without any distortion whatsoever.
VINYL (VISUAL):
EX; the vinyl has retained a lovely shine with just light hairline/superficial wispy sleeve removal type marks noticeable. The record is bright and shiny and has clearly been well cared for.
The labels both look great; bright and clean with no tears, scuffs or writing. Just some light spindle marks consistent with the record having been played.
SLEEVE:
EX; the delicate gatefold sleeveis in excellent condition. The exterior shows just some very light signs of storage and hardly any creasing at all. The interior centrefold looks superb with only a small blemish and grades Near Mint.
The spine is firm and straight with all text still clearly legible and just very minor signs of age/wear. This really is a lovely example which looks great.
The original 'swirl' inner bag is also in excellent condition with the poly-lining still firmly intact.
