Visual: EXCELLENT
Both sides are clean and bright, retaining their 'as new' deep gloss shines. Apart from one or two small insignificant surface marks they are unmarked in daylight. Close inspection direclty beaneath halogen light revals some wispy inner-sleeve removal paper hairlines but no further marks or wear on this extremely well looked-after copy.
Play: EXCELLENT
This copy has receieved only some careful, light play on good quality equipment and the sound throughout is clean and clear with no groovewear distortion or background noise. Apart from a few faint ticks on the introduction of 'Sun King', the entire album plays without and further significant or major audible faults.
Cover
EXCELLENT +
An impressive example with a pristine, unscratched high-gloss laminate all-round with just a single small 'thumbnail' on the front panel just next to the opening. All corners are clean and square and the opening edges appear untouched. The rear panel is just a sparkling with only a small bend to the lower left corner showing that it has ever been handled. Both seams and the spine are unstressed, unsplit and in perfect condition.
Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT
Light storagewear but no major faults.
- Strict & grading under strong daylight & halogen light based upon UK 'RECORD COLLECTOR' standards.
- I play every record I sell at volume on high-end audio equipment and list all visual and audible faults.
- Unless stated, all records lie 100% flat & play without distortion, jumps or sticks. All sleeves/covers have no writing, splits or tears.
- The listing photos have been taken by myself and are of the actual items for sale.
- All records are packed strongly & securely in custom-made record maling boxes with the disc removed from the cover. All text & images © Bright Field Music 2008
