CONDITION
Labels: EXCELLENT +
Visual: EXCELLENT
Both surfaces of this superb disc are clean and bright and retain their 'as new' deep-gloss shines with no cloudy or dull patches anywhere. Close inspection in strong daylight shows up a few minor inner-sleeve removal marks on side 1 but side 2 in totally unmarked. Careful examination directly under my halogen desk lamp reveals nothing more than a few insignificant inner-sleeve removal marks and a few barely visible wispy paper hairlines but certainly no further marks or wear on either side. Both sides of this thick & heavy disc lie 100% flat on the turntable on both sides, with no signs or dishing or warping.
Play: EXCELLENT
This outstanding copy has clearly only received a few careful plays on top quality equipment. The sound sparkles cleanly & clearly on every track and both channels with no evidence of any play/groovewear or background noise anywhere. In fact, apart from two light clicks on the side 1 run-in, there is little else to fault audibly on this electrifying sounding copy.
Cover
VERY GOOD +
An extremely respectable example of this rare cover which retains a totally unscratched and perfect high-gloss laminate with no ringwear or 'thumbnails' to any area. There is a small bend to the lower left corner but nothing more than light shelfwear bruising to the others. Both opening edges are clean and sharp and free from any tears or feathering to either side. The rear panel is overall clean and white with just a tiny watermark in the upper left corner but no other marks or any writing missing paper. All of the delicate flipbacks are present and fully intact. Both seams are smooth and unstressed with no missing or flaking laminate & the spine is clean, straight and perfectly worded.
Inner-sleeve
EXCELLENT
Flat & clean with just minor/normal storagewear creasing but no splits, tears or writing.
- 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.
