CONDITION
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT +
A superb clean & bright set with just a single spindle trail to the side 1 centre-hole and just a small handful on label 2.
Visual: EXCELLENT +
Both surfaces are pristine and unmarked in strong daylight with their 'as new' deep-gloss shines fully intact. Close & careful inspection directly under my powerful halogen light reveals just a sparkling rainbow gloss and some insignificant wispy inner-sleeve paper hairlines but no scratches or any other surface wear.
Play: EXCELLENT +
This copy has been barely played and as a results sounds clean & clear throughout with no signs of any groovewear or background noise to any track. My careful playcheck at volume detected just 3 or 4 light ticks on the introduction of track 1, side 1 but apart form that there is little to fault on this top sounding copy.
Cover
EXCELLENT +
An untarnished example of this vibrant cover which still retains a high-gloss undamaged laminate all-round, which apart from a single 'thumbnail' wrinkle to the front is 'as new'. All corners are clean & square with no heavy bumps or bruises to any and all opening edges appear untouched. Inside is bright & clean with just a few tiny flecks or missing paper to the lower edge where the laminate ends but all seams and the spine are smooth, unstressed & undamaged.
Inner-sleeve
EXCELLENT
Clean & flat with just minor storagewear but no writing, splits or tears.
- 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.
- Please take a look at my About Me page for more details.
