LABELS: NEAR MINT
Clean, factory-fresh labels with just one or possibly two light spindle traces
VINYL Visual: NEAR MINT
Apart from some (very) light brush marks - which have no audio consequence - the surfaces shine like new
VINYL Audio: EXCELLENT+/NEAR MINT
Lovely sound - deep, rich, warm and finely detailed and my play-check at loud volume revealed little to fault - just one or two pops throughout the course of both sides (impossibly minor) otherwise, clean, crystal clear, bright and fresh sound performance and as it's practically unplayed there is no hint of groove-wear or distortion - lovely copy
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT++
This is always a difficult sleeve to find in decent condition (being so thin and fragile) but this one is in great shape with a deep glossy sheen to the front laminate and a clean back with just a little rubbing to the black colour. All edges are sharp and unworn with just two light creases to the very thin spine - all text is clear but it is hard to read as the spine is so thin and the lettering is gold on black. The front laminate does not touch the sleeve along the spine - commonly referred to as "laminate lift" this is a bit of a misnomer as the laminate was never actually stuck down in the first place and has been like this since manufacture
INSERT: NEAR MINT
The lyric insert is clean and fresh with no creasing, marks and little sign of handling
INNER SLEEVE: NEAR MINT
Again, practically untouched and as clean and fresh as when it left the factory
ALL RECORDS ARE PACKAGED WITH THE VINYL OUTSIDE OF THE SLEEVE TO PREVENT ANY 'KNIFING' DURING TRANSIT
A PROTECTIVE POLY SLEEVE, NEW INNER SLEEVE WITH ANTI-STATIC LINER, QUALITY BOX (NOT ENVELOPE) MAILER AND AMPLE STIFFENERS ARE ALWAYS USED TO ENSURE THAT YOUR RECORD ARRIVES SAFELY
