CONDITION
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT +
A unblemished, richly coloured set with a handful of light light spindle trails around each unworn centre hole.
Visual: EXCELLENT +
Both playing surfaces retain all of their 'as new' factory-shine with the only blemish being a faint 2cm surface mark on side 2. Apart from that, both sides are flawless, even directly beneath halogen light.
Sound Quality: EXCELLENT +
Carefully and little played on quality equipment, the sound quality is clean, clear and free from any groove/playwear distortion. My playcheck detected a touch of low-level vinyl background on the run-ins and between tracks but certainly no clicks, pops or any other audible distractions.
Cover: EXCELLENT
A clean & firm example with some moderate ringwear, but no 'thumbnail' or spine wrinkles. There is some wear to the tips of the lower & upper left corners and just one or two tiny 'pushes' to the opening edges.
The rear panel is clean with a touch of storage rubbing only
Both seams are smooth and unstressed and the spine is unworn & fully worded both ends
Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT
