Condition:
Vinyl: MINT -
Labels: MINT -
The labels are bright, clean and without writing. Only very light spindle marks can be seen on either side.
Visual: MINT -
Immaculate 'factory-fresh' deep-gloss playing surfaces which show blemish free vinyl in bright daylight. Under the haze of a halogen bulb a single light mark can be seen on side 2 along with subtle paper scuffs. A really strong example.
Sound Quality: EXCELLENT +
The audio is fantastic. This copy has clearly been played cautiously on good quality equipment. There is no sign of groove/play wear. There are quiet lead-ins to both sides and minimal static in between tracks. There is great channel separation, clear vocals and punchy bass. You will struggle to find a better listening experience - a true final upgrade example.
The sleeve looks great. The front retains a glossy finish with bright colours. A small laminate crease can be seen in the bottom right hand corner. The rear is very clean with one small patch of discolouration. There is no ring wear, fully readable spine without wear, top and bottom edge without wear, and corners with very mild softening.
Inner Sleeve: EXCELLENT
The original polythene lined die-cut inner sleeve looks great. It is very clean, has minimal discolouration and shows only minor creasing. The vinyl is housed within audiophile quality, anti-static inner sleeve to help protect and preserve the fantastic record.
This record will be sent via an insured courier in a padded vinyl mailer.
