CONDITION
Disc
Labels: VERY GOOD
Apart from some obvious wear to the centre holes, there are no other faults to either.
Visual: GOOD/FAIR
Generally marked and not well cared for, both surfaces bear numerous light marks and some scratches. Side 2 has what appears to be some tiny white paint(?) spots and some rubbing in the run out. Both sides do lie 100% flat on the turntable but please be aware that this copy is really only a collection filler.
Play: VERY GOOD
Despite its visual shortcomings, both sides play extremely well. All tracks play without any significant deterioration to the sound quality or major faults. There is no discernable groovewear and apart from some light background between tracks and on some quieter passage, there is little else to fault.
Cover
VERY GOOD
This hard to find G&L large stereo logo cover is in respectable shape with just general handling & storagwear but no major faults. The front panel is clean & bright with some light 'thumbnail' wrinkles but no heavy creases. There is some light wear to the corners and opening edges but no tears or heavy bumps. The rear panel has some age-toning & handling wear but no writing or missing paper. All flipbacks are fully intact and both seams & the spine are smooth, unsplit & undamaged.
NEMS plastic cover
VERY GOOD +
Clean & fully intact with just inevitable light storage wrinkling but no tears, holes or any other major faults.
Inner-sleeve
VERY GOOD -
Some age-toning and general storagewear creasing but no major faults.
- Strict & grading under strong daylight & directly beneath a halogen desk lamp to UK 'RECORD COLLECTOR' standards.
- I carefully play every record I sell on a $5,000 Rega P9 turntable at volume and list all visual and audible faults.
- All the photos in this listing have been taken by myself and are of the actual items for sale.
- All records are professionally & securely in custom-made record mailing boxes with the disc removed from the cover.
- Please take a look at my About Me page for more details.
