CONDITION
Disc
Labels: 1. VERY GOOD 2. VERY GOOD +
Both are clean and readable with some rubbing to the side 1 tracklisting, but no further significant signs of wear.
Visual: GOOD
Both playing surfaces are clean but bear several light surface marks together with numerous wispy paper/stylus hairlines consistent with frequent play. There are one or two slightly deeper scratches on side 2 side which I can just feel beneath my fingertips but these measure no longer than a few centimetres each.
Sound Quality: GOOD
This true stereo disc has been played many times and noticeable background crackle is present throughout. However, this improves slightly as the album progresses and there are no jumps, repeats or any other major faults.
Cover: VERY GOOD
A respectable and 100% genuine example of this scarce stereo variant which bears light storagewear and no major faults.
The front panel is clean with a few light storage scratches but no ringwear, writing or any other significant signs of wear. There is some damage to the lower right corner and some minor shelfwear to the others.
There is a small 1cm tear to the slick on the front opening edge and a few small 'pushes' to the rear. The rear panel itself is clean & white overall with again some minor scratches but no other noticeable blemishes.
Both upper and lower seams are slightly worn but unsplit
The spine is unsplit and fully worded
