CONDITION
Disc
Labels: NEAR MINT
A superb set with no spindle trails or wear around either centre hole.
Visual: VERY GOOD +
Clean & glossy playing surfaces which display no significant surface marks in strong daylight. Some wispy paper-type marks/hairlines are visible beneath my unforgiving halogen light, but no heavy marks or anything I would call a scratch.
Sound Quality: EXCELLENT
A superb sounding copy which has not been overplayed in any way and all tracks play cleanly & clearly with no trace of any groove/play wear. In fact, apart from a touch of light/normal background between tracks, there is little else to fault and much more to enjoy.
Cover: VERY GOOD +
Overall a clean & strong example which retains an immaculate high-gloss finish to its front panel. The cover would have easily graded 'EXCELLENT' if it were not for two small tears to the front opening edge. The exposed rear panel is clean & bright and all seams are smooth and unworn.
- This item is located in and will be shipped from AUSTRIA. Priority signed for airmail postage to UK addresses will be 6 GBP**
- Our grading is strict & conservative grading under strong daylight & directly beneath a halogen desk lamp to UK 'RECORD COLLECTOR' standards.
