CONDITION (using RRPG grading):
VINYL: EXCELLENT
Both sides of this rare and super heavy 190g vinyl have a nice deep, black sheen.
Visually, they are also EXCELLENT and look barely-played - the record still sits nicely to the spindle.
Just a few very light paper sleeve "removal" marks and some faint hairline marks on each side - most of which can only be seen when viewed at an angle and under a strong halogen lamp.
Both sides of vinyl have just a few light and very occasional static "pops" and minimal amount of static "crackle" - which are only present very occasionally.
This really is a superb copy with TOP AUDIO and the overall playback and sonic quality in most parts is SUPERB - which makes this copy very acceptable and HIGHLY COLLECTABLE.
This early UK heavy press on the rarer textured pink rim label has a loud, warm, rich, strong and well-defined audio reproduction - much stronger and with more clarity than other pressings I have heard.
Audio playback ranges from 7-8.5/10 throughout.
Record sits flat and plays through with no sticks, skips or jumps.
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT-
Light signs of wear to the very delicate unlaminated matt card - mainly to the top and bottom edges only.
A very acceptable and HIGHLY COLLECTABLE copy.
No tears, folds, splits, stickers or writing.
SPINE: VERY GOOD++
Most of the text has been rubbed off and is not fully readable - there is typical wear along the spine but it is perfectly intact and strong.
No tears, splits or folds - which makes it very acceptable and HIGHLY COLLECTABLE.
LABELS: EXCELLENT+
Just a few very faint and extremely light spindle marks - only seen when viewed at an angle and under a strong halogen lamp.
Very, very light and slight discolouring.
This record still sits nicely to the spindle and is clearly a barely-played copy.
No writing, tears or stickers - which makes it very acceptable and HIGHLY COLLECTABLE.
OTHER: Paper inner sleeve is EXCELLENT.
No splits, writing, tears or stickers - which makes it very acceptable and HIGHLY COLLECTABLE.
