CONDITION

Disc

Labels: EXCELLENT

A clean & bright pair with a moderate collection of spindle trails & a hint of wear to each.

Visual: EXCELLENT +

Immaculate, deep-gloss playing surfaces which shine 'as new' in strong daylight with no visual blemishes or wear in strong daylight. Close & careful examination directly beneath halogen desk lamp reveals nothing more than a sparkling rainbow shine and a few barely visible wispy paper hairlines. Both sides of this superb copy lie 100% flat on the turntable when playing, with no traces of dishing or warping.

Play: EXCELLENT -

The copy has recieved a number of careful plays but is without any significant deterioration to the big mono sound overall. My careful play-check at volume uncovered a little wear to some loud peaks on the first 2 tracks of side 1, but no other audible faults thereafter. On the orchestral side, there is also wear on a few of loud peaks also, but no clicks, pops, jumps or other such faults.

Cover

EXCELLENT

A vivid & vibrant example with a vibrant & glossy front panel laminate which bears a slight disc impression from storage & a single tiny 'thumbnail' towards the opening edge but no other creasing or wear. There is some wear to the lower right corner but all others are free from any significant bumps or bruises. There are several small 'pushes' to the rear opening edges but no tears or major wear to either. The exposed rear panel is clean & unblemished and all flipbacks are clean & fully intact. Both seams and the fully worded spine are smooth, unstressed and completely unworn.

Inner-sleeve

VERY GOOD +

A flat and undamaged example with some light storage creases but no but no tears or seam splits.
