A superb bright and clean pair no missing print and with true centre holes which have not been 'inked' to hide wear.
Visual: EXCELLENT MINUS
This disc has been looked after, well treated and carefully handled which bears just very light wear only.
Both surfaces are extremely bright and clean and retain their fine deep gloss finish undulled by overplay, careless handing or groove whitening.
Inspection under a halogen desk lamp reveals a few light fingernail scuffs on side 1, but side 2 is unmarked apart from some wispy sleeve removal hairlines.
Pressed on very thick heavy vinyl which lies completely 100% flat on the turntable with no signs of dishing or warping.
Audio: EXCELLENT MINUS
This copy has clearly has been seldom but carefully played and there is very little lessening to the sound quality.
Slight 'clipping' is audible on the extreme loud peaks mostly on side one and the last two tracks on side 2.
However, the overall sound is loud and clear and the entire disc plays without any major audible faults.
Both run-ins and all bands are silent and there is no hiss, crackle, clicks or pops, jumps or repeats anywhere.
A fine copy of this rare LP.
Cover: VERY GOOD PLUS
The front panel is bright and clean with an undamaged laminate bearing just a few light creases but no 'thumbnails' to the opening edge.
The corners display just some light bruising and storagewear but the opening edge is clean only a touch of light wear but no tears or 'feathering'.
The rear panel is fairly clean but has two small areas of missing paper. Otherwise no major discolouration, marks or writing.
All the delicate flipbacks are in place and all seams are strong and unsplit.
The spine is unworn, clean and readable with no missing paper or laminate.
Strict visual & audible gradings under intense direct light & at volume on high-end audio equipment
