CONDITION
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT +
A rich & vibrant set with just a touch of wear to the hole & a few faint spindle trails. The vertical mark on the side 2 label is a printing factory error.
Visual: NEAR MINT
This extremely well looked after discs retains all of it deep-gloss 'as new' shine with no clouding or dull patches to either surface. Both sides are pristine & unmarked in strong daylight with just a sparkling rainbow shine and a few light wispy hairlines upon careful inspection directly beneath halogen light. There are no scratches, scuffs or other such marks on this superior copy. Both sides lie 100% flat on the turntable with no signs of dishing or warping.
Play: NEAR MINT
This impressive sounding copy has received just a few careful plays on top-quality equipment and is free from any groovewear distortion or background noise throughout. My careful play-check at volume uncovered no ticks, clicks or any other interference on, or between any of the tracks. Hard to find a nicer sounding copy.
Cover
EXCELLENT +
A wonderfully rich and vibrant example which displays a perfectly clean & high-gloss all-round laminate. The front panel is in superb shape with just 3 small 'thumbnails' towards the opening edge and a tiny wrinkle in the upper left corner - otherwise, this is the condition it left the shop in. The rear panel is just a fine with its only blemish being a upper right corner bump, but no 'thumbnails' or any other wear. Both opening edges appear untouched and happily both seams and the spine are smooth, unstressed & undamaged.
Inner-sleeve
EXCELLENT +
Clean & white with just a few minor storagewear wrinkles but no writing, splits or tears.
- Strict & grading under strong daylight & directly beneath a halogen desk lamp to UK 'RECORD COLLECTOR' standards.
- I carefully play every record I sell on a $5,000 Rega P9 turntable at volume and list all visual and audible faults.
- All the photos in this listing have been taken by myself and are of the actual items for sale.
- All records are professionally & securely in custom-made record mailing boxes with the disc removed from the cover.
- Please take a look at my About Me page for more details.
