CONDITION
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT
A clean & undamaged pair with a touch of wear to each centre hole, but no writing or missing paper.
Visual: EXCELLENT
Both playing surfaces are extremely clean and retain their 'as new' deep-gloss shine and are free from any scuffs, marks or scratches in strong daylight. Closer examination directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp reveals just some harmless wispy inner-sleeve removal hairlines, but no other blemishes of wear.
Sound Quality: EXCELLENT +
This fine sounding disc has received minimal careful play on good equipment and all tracks play cleanly and clearly throughout with no groove/play wear distortion. My single careful play-check at volume detected no clicks, pops, ticks or indeed any other audible distraction or wear on this extremely enjoyable sounding copy.
Cover: EXCELLENT
A very respectable strong and unworn example which retains a pristine unscratched high-gloss front panel laminate bearing only a single faint 'thumbnail' wrinkle. There is a hint of shelfwear rubbing to the lower corners but very little evidence of wear to either opening edge. The rear panel is overall clean & white with just a few faint age-spots but no writing or missing paper. All flipbacks are clean & fully intact with just a little wear to the lower left. Both seams and the spine are all smooth, unstressed and unworn.
Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT
Clean & flat with no marks, tears or seam splits.
