CONDITION
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT +
A clean & unblemished pair with a touch or wear to the side 1 centre hole but no visible spindle trails around either.
Visual: EXCELLENT
Extremely clean and deep-gloss playing surfaces which bear just a handful of small marks on side 1 and a light circumferal mark on track 1 on side 2 but nothing feelable or anything I would call a scratch. Closer examination directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp reveals some harmless wispy paper hairlines but no further blemishes or wear.
Sound Quality: EXCELLENT +
This superb copy has received just some extremely careful plays on top-quality equipment and my single careful play-check at volume found no trace of any groove/playwear, clicks, tick or pops. In fact, apart from a little light/normal vinyl background between tracks, there really is little to fault here.
Cover: EXCELLENT +
A superb clean & unworn example which retains a sparkling high-gloss laminate all-round with just a hint of storage rubbing but no 'thumbnail' wrinkles or any other significant traces of wear. All corners are sharp and unbumped and both opening edges are sharp and free from any tears or feathering. Both seams are smooth, unstressed & unsplit and the spine is unworn and fully worded.
Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT
Clean & white with a few gentle storage creases but no writing, seam splits or tears.
