This limited edition comes with a printed family tree insert which has lived in the sleeve since new and is in super clean condition.
Matrix / Runout (Side A runout, stamped): DIO 712 A// 1∇ 420 T Matrix / Runout (Side B runout, stamped): DIO 712 B// 1∇ 420 T Matrix / Runout (Side A runout, etched): JA
Record has been cleaned with L'art du son and RCM. Recently play tested on high-end Rega system and this system is not forgiving in any way.
Great sounding audio with excellent mastering as you would expect. Engaging with great dynamics, and very little background noise, hardly discernible. Very clean vinyl, hardly a mark visible.
I have graded in line with the record collector grading system with my own observations. If you have any specific questions, please do ask before bidding/purchase, we're always on hand to help.
Record Collector Grading System
Mint: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition.
Excellent: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening of sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.
Very Good: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
Good: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration etc.
Fair: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise: it may even jump. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
