CONDITION
Labels: EXCELLENT +
Just a single light spindle trail to each centre hole.
The small 'hairs' that appear on the side 1 label are actually in the paper itself and not on the surface.
Visual: EXCELLENT
Superb clean bright & glossy with just a few small & faint fingernail scuff marks but no scratches or any other significant wear in strong daylight or directly under halogen light.
Play: EXCELLENT +
This copy has recieved just a few extremely careful plays and all tracks play superbly with no groovewear distortion.
Apart from a touch of normal/light background on the run-ins, there is nothing to fault audibly on this rare pressing.
Cover
EXCELLENT
An extremely clean and pristine white example with no yellowing, creasing or wrinkles whatosever to the gloss front panel.
I would have graded EX+ if it were not for a number written on the rear panel.
- 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.
