Condition
Labels: NEAR MINT
Visual: NEAR MINT
Extremely clean bright and glossy surfaces which are unmarked when veiwed in strong daylight & display with just some wispy inner-sleeve removal paper hairlines directly under halogen light. However, there are no scuffs, marks or scratches anywhere on this first-class disc. Both sides lie 100% flat on the turntable with no signs of dishing or warping.
Play: NEAR MINT
Played only once by its original owner, the entire LP unsurprisingly plays totally 'as new' throughout with absolutely no trace of any audible wear or faults anywhere.
Cover
EXCELLENT
A beautiful cover with an unscratched high-gloss front laminate which displays just some tiny spine wrinkles but no other wear. All corners and opening edges are clean, sharp & undamaged and the rear panel is bright & white with no marks writing or missing paper. All flipbacks, seams & the spine are all unsplit, unstressed and undamaged.
Inner-sleeve
EXCELLENT
Clean & flat with just two numbers written in one of the corners but no tears or splits.
- Strict & grading under strong daylight & directly beneath a halogen desk lamp to UK 'RECORD COLLECTOR' standards.
- I carefully play every record I sell on a $5,000 Rega P9 turntable at volume and list all visual and audible faults.
- Unless stated, all records lie 100% flat & play without distortion, jumps or sticks. All sleeves/covers have no writing, splits or tears.
- All the photos in this listing have been taken by myself and are of the actual items for sale.
- All records are professionally & securely in custom-made record mailing boxes with the disc removed from the cover. All text & images © Bright Field Music 2008
