The matt gatefold cover is in EX+ grade. Please see pictures. General light shelf wear - edges, corners. No creases or seam split. Spine has no issues. Light hint on ring wear on the rear.
Vinyl Visual / Audio: EX++ / NM (VG+)
All my records are cleaned on Ultra Sound Audio Desk Systeme cleaning machine prior to play-testing.
Visually vinyl has great sheen with a few superficial removal hairlines. Great look. However on the playing side there is a slight factory warp non-visible until you put it on turntable. The warp has affected first tracks on both sides. Visually when the vynil is rotating you can see the cratridge slightly moving from side to side. During playbak of the first tracks on each side you can hear a short hiss in the same place each revolution. When the music is loud you almost do not hear the hissing. No skips or pops or clicks. Hence 2 first tracks grade VG+ and all others tracks play great and grade NM. The quality of recording does not differ from the original UK 1st pressing.
Labels: NM
SWIRL labels are in a flawless shape. See photos. No spindle trace visible.
Inner: NM
Original company inner is in NM condition. No seam splits.
No reserve auction
