CONDITION

Disc


Labels: EXCELLENT PLUS

Visual: NEAR MINT

Both surfaces are in pristine 'Mint condition and are completely undulled by overplay or incorrect long-term storage.
Close inspection directly under a halogen desk lamp reveals just a few minor inner-sleeve removal marks but no scratches or any other wear.
Both sides lie 100% flat on the turntable with no signs of dishing or warping.

Audio: NEAR MINT

This copy has recieved just a few careful plays on good quality equipment and the sound is clear, clean & undistorted throughout.
There are no traces of background noise, crackle or groovewear distortion in either channel on any track.
Both run-ins & all bands play silently without any ticks, clicks or other interference.
Very difficult to upgrade this copy.

(I only grade records which are unplayed as 'MINT')
