Condition
Labels: EXCELLENT +
Visual: Side 1: EXCELLENT Side 2: EXCELLENT +
Both surfaces are very clean & glossy. Side 1 displays some inner-sleeve storage marks but side 2 is totally perfect and totally unmarked in daylight. There are no other marks or any scuffs or scratches to either side - even beneath my halogen desk lamp. Both sides 100% flat on the turntable with no signs or dishing or warping.
Play: NEAR MINT
This copy has been barely played and as a result plays 'as new' throughout. My careful play-check at volume revealed absolutely no traces of any audible wear or faults. There is no groovewear, background or any tick or clicks anywhere on any track. Even the final piano fades without wear or intereference.
Cover
EXCELLENT
An immaculate and vivid front panel which is completely unworn and uncreased with no storagewear rubbing or even any 'thumbnail' wrinkles anywhere. All corners and opening edges are clean, sharp and undamaged and the inside is perfect. There are two small 3cm stresses to the lower seam and some missing laminate on the spine, however it is clean and all the text is present, unworn & undamged.
Cut-out Sheet
MINT
- Strict & grading under strong daylight & directly beneath a halogen desk lamp to UK 'RECORD COLLECTOR' standards.
- I carefully play every record I sell on a $5,000 Rega P9 turntable at volume and list all visual and audible faults.
- Unless stated, all records lie 100% flat & play without distortion, jumps or sticks. All sleeves/covers have no writing, splits or tears.
- 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. All text & images © Bright Field Music 2008
