Description
Vinyl was play tested through Focal Elegia's and it played as NM/NM-. The thing is that typically it may be one side that plays a bit better than another however on this vinyl it was that some tracks played as NM- and the rest were outright NM. Relative to a tiny bit of surface noise A1 and bit more on B1 those are NM-. There was also a bit of light surface noise between the tracks of A2-3 and A4-5. A4 and B4 also played more in the NM- range and B4 had what could have been a missed dust fleck. Driving the EX rating on this album is the visual inspection particularly of the B-side, which is cumulatively the better playing side.
The sleeve is scored as EX as well with the most significant issue being a 22mm crease within the bottom right corner along with a 6mm crease on the top right corner. Beyond that I can see five faint creases running in from the spine behind the OBI however I am unable to move the OBI to obtain accurate measurements of these issues. On the top seam there is a 3mm area with small color chipping. Finally, on angles you can see hints of ring wear (it's almost not there). I'm really trying to find everything here but truth be told at arms length straight on it looks essentially as good as new.
Album will be mailed in a cardboard mailer between cardboard with bubble wrap. If you have any questions please let me know and thanks for looking!
