CONDITION
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT +
A pristine set with just a single spindle trail to each centre hole.
Visual: EXCELLENT
Both surfaces of this barely played copy retain their 'as new' deep-gloss shines with just a few light surface marks and a single 1cm light scratch on side 2 in strong daylight. However, there are no further blemishes directly beneath my halogen desk lamp. A very solid & heavy copy which lies 100% flat on the turntable with no traces of dishing or warping.
Play: 1. EXCELLENT + 2. EXCELLENT
This copy has been barely played and sounds essentially 'as new' throughout. My careful playcheck uncovered no traces of groovewear or background noise throughout. I have downgraded side 2 slightly due only to a few light ticks in the band between tracks 1 & 2 on side 2 from the aforementioned light scratch but apart from that, there is nothing else to fault on this superb copy.
Cover
VERY GOOD
A clean & strong example which displays some light/normal handling & storagewear, but no major faults. All seams are intact and unstressed and the spine is clean & fully worded with no writing or missing paper anywhere.
Inner-sleeve
EXCELLENT
A clean & vibrant example with a light disc impression & slight toning on one side but no splits, tears or writing.
Take a listen to the track 'Eight Miles High', recorded directly from this copy on the player below:
- 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.
- 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.
