CONDITION
Labels: EXCELLENT +
Both are clean & bright with some light spindle trails visible around the side 1 centre hole.
Visual: EXCELLENT
Both playing surfaces retain all of their deep-gloss shine. There are two very small non-feelable marks on side 1 which do not sound. Side 2 has two hairlines at the beginning of track 2, one of which, measuring 5mm, is feelable beneath the fingertips. Apart from those minor blemishes, there is nothing else to fault on this well looked-after disc.
Audio: EXCELLENT
This little played disc plays cleanly and clearly throughout. The aforementioned scratch causes some light clicks at the beginning of track 2 on side 2, but aside from that, and a little regular vinyl background between tracks, there are no other audible distractions on this fine sounding copy which will not disappoint.
Cover: VERY GOOD +
Clean, strong & fully intact, this very respectable example bears some minor storagewear rubbing to its high-gloss outer panels and a few edge wrinkles but no 'thumbnails' front or rear. There is a touch of wear to the front (and only) opening edge. Inside there is a crease on the left panel from manufacture, otherwise both panels are clean & unblemished. The spine is slightly faded but readable and all seams are smooth & unstressed.
Some age-toning to the paper but otherwise clean & fully intact with no writing, tears or seam splits.
