CONDITION

Disc

Labels: EXCELLENT +

Both are clean & unworn with nothing more than a small handful of faint spindle trails around each centre hole.

Visual: VERY GOOD +

Both playing surfaces are clean & glossy with the only noticeable mark in strong daylight being a small, light turntable scuff on side 2. Closer inspection beneath halogen light reveals some harmless wispy hairlines but no further blemishes or wear.

Sound Quality: VERY GOOD +

All tracks play cleanly & clearly with no groove/playwear distortion or indeed any other significant deterioration to the sound quality. Aside from a little low-level vinyl background cheifly between tracks, there is little else to fault.

Cover: VERY GOOD +

A clean & fully intact with light to moderate storagewear and no major faults.
