CONDITION
Disc
Labels: VERY GOOD +
Clean & bright with numerous small, light spindle marks to each centre hole.
Visual: VERY GOOD +
Extremely clean & bright surfaces which retain all of their 'as new' bright & deep-gloss shine in strong daylight. The only significant blemish in strong daylight is a 1mm scratch on track 4 of side 2. Close inspection beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp reveals some harmless stylus and wispy paper hairlines, but no further significant marks or faults.
Play: VERY GOOD
This copy has received a frequent amount of play but plays without any major deterioration to the sound. My careful play check at volume uncovered some peak wear to some of the louder passages & 4 clicks on 'Do You Want To Know A Secret', but no other significant audible blemishes.
Cover
EXCELLENT -
A firm & glossy example with a bright high-gloss laminate bearing only two small 'thumbnails' but no other significant signs of wear. There is a bruise to the upper right corner and a little wear to the rear opening edge, but no tears or 'feathering'. The rear panel is very clean & white with no marks, writing or missing paper. All flipbacks & the spine are are clean & undamaged. There is a small upper seam repair but no other traces of wear on this very respectable cover.
Inner-sleeve
VERY GOOD +
Clean & flat with minor storagewear, but no writing, tears or splits.
- Strict & grading under strong daylight & directly beneath a halogen desk lamp to UK 'RECORD COLLECTOR' standards.
- I carefully play every record I sell on an EMT 950 transcription 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.
