CONDITION
Whilst I would not normally list a record in this condition, the rarity of this disc warrants an exception to this rule. This copy can only be regarded as a collection filler until/if a better one comes along.
Outer Slipcase: VERY GOOD
Fully intact & in-shape with some light storage rubbing to the panels but no 'thumbnails' or creasing. There is a 4cm tear to the lower left front seam but none to any of the exposed outer edges. Both upper and lower edges are square and uncrushed with no missing laminate to either.
Trays
Outer: VERY GOOD
Complete and in-shape with moderate wear to the exposed outer folds & light creasing to rounded edged fold-over flaps.
Inner: GOOD
This delicate component is complete but has sustained inevitable stress tears to each corner, one of which has become detached.
Book
VERY GOOD +
A fully complete copy with a glossy outer jacket with bears just a small bend on the lower right corner of the front cover.There are a few loose pages but none are damaged or missing. The spine is clean & totally unworn.
LP
Labels: VERY GOOD
Clean but with many spindle trails around the centre holes and written initials in the white Parlophone logo on each side.
Visual: FAIR
Both playing surface are clean but do bear numerous light surface marks and light scratches consistent with the many many times this LP has been played. however, I could not see anything deep or 'feelable' and both sides lie 100% flat on the turntable when playing.
Play: FAIR
Played many, many times and surface noise/groove wear is present throughout. However the entire disc plays through without any jumps or repeats.
Cover
GOOD
Fairly tired with general handling & storagewear but no tears, seam splits or writing.
Inner-sleeve
FAIR
General wear with a lower seam split and a name written on both sides.
