Description
Vinyl was play tested through Focal Elegia's and it played as NM-. I numerically score the vinyl a 96. The tracks range from a 95 to a 98. On A2 there was a tiny tiny bit of surface noise at the start, on A3 there was what could have been a missed dust fleck along with another fleck on B5. On B1 there was also a tiny bit of surface noise. Overall the vinyl played dead quiet and sounded wicked good. A visual inspection reveals a couple of tiny marks with nothing significant enough to lower the grade. Based on the play and visual inspection the vinyl is scored as NM.
The sleeve is scored as NM, it's probably more a NM- but 100% better than EX, if only just. There is a crease on the bottom left corner, typically hidden by the OBI, running 7mm along with a little wear fleck on the top left corner. The other corners show only the most faint wear. Finally, between the letter A and L in 'Halen' there is am impression, you'll have to angle to cover to find this thing and it may well have been a factory issue. The OBI shows only light wear. There is no poster with this album. Besides that this sleeve is as good as new and this is as perfect of a sleeve as you'll find. Numerically I score it a 94 which I feel is the very bottom of the NM scale.
Album will be mailed in a cardboard mailer between cardboard with bubble wrap. If you have any questions please let me know and thanks for looking!
