CONDITION
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT
A clean & bright set with just a small collection of spindle trails around each centre hole.
Visual: VERY GOOD
Clean & glossy playing surfaces which bears a handful of light surface marks consistent with moderate handling any play, but nothing deep or feelable. Close inspection directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp reveals numerous wispy paper-type hairlines and a sparkling rainbow gloss but again, nothing major.
Play: VERY GOOD
This copy has been played a number of times but is without any major deterioration to the sound quality overall. My careful play check at volume uncovered some play wear to the final track on side 1 & 4 clicks on 'Old Dirt Road'. A touch of light background is present during some quiet passages and between tracks but there are no jumps, repeats or any other major faults.
Cover
VERY GOOD
A fully intact example of this delicate sleeve with some general storagewear but no major faults. There are small bends to both upper corners and a crease through the centre front flap but other significant wear. There is also some shelfwear rubbing to the lower seams but no splits to any.
Inner-sleeve
EXCELLENT
Clean & strong with just a tiny bend to one corner but no tears or splits to any seam.
Lyric booklet
MINT
