Visual: NEAR MINT
Both surfaces are totally unmarked and in pristine 'as new' condition both in daylight with no surface marks or scratches whatsoever. Apart form a few barely visible inner-sleeve/paper hairlines directly under halogen light, this copy is in perfect condition.
Play: NEAR MINT
This great copy has received just a few extremely careful plays by its original audiophile owner on a Garrard 401 deck from new, with a Shure M75E cartridge on an SME arm. It plays & sounds 'as new' throughout with no traces of groovewear, background noise, clicks, pops or indeed any audible wear whatsoever.
Cover
EXCELLENT
An extremely clean & strong exmaple which retains its undamaged high-gloss laminate just a few small wrinkles but no significant or major signs of wear. All corners are sharp and unbumped and both opening edges appear untouched. Apart from a small area of fading on the rear upper spine area, there is little to fault on this fine example.
Inner-sleeve: VERY GOOD +
There is a contemporary repaired tear around the centre hole, but no seam splits or other wear.
- Strict & grading under strong daylight & halogen light based upon UK 'RECORD COLLECTOR' standards.
- I play every record I sell at volume and list all visual and audible faults.
- Unless stated, all records lie 100% flat & play without distortion, jumps or sticks & all sleeves have no writing, splits or tears.
- The listing photos have been taken by myself and are of the actual items for sale.
- All records are packed tightly in strong custom made record boxes with the disc removed from the cover.
