Each side fully play tested on my Michell Gyrodeck turntable - sounds amazing.
My personal copy which I've owned for over 4 decades. I have taken very good care of it and only played occasionally in my ownership. Compilation of 2 earlier Kraftwerk albums. Issued on collectable Vertigo Swirl label and in really great condition with no damage.
A masterpiece of experimental, exploratory electronic ambient music interspersed with prog rock overtones. Superb.
I loved listening to this a final time. the playback is superb and there are no issues to report. Light background crackles are heard in places but no pops, clicks jumps or anything that spoils the listening experience. Overall playback experience is Excellent to Excellent +.
Vinyl is a visual EX+, only light hairlines, nothing deep. All sides have a nice shine and there are no horrid marks or scratches. You won't be disappointed- it's a lovely copy.
Labels are all clean with only a few spindle marks - grade EX.
Original spiral inner sleeves are lovely and clean, no splits, just some storage creasing - grade EX.
The double gatefold sleeve has a shiny laminated finish to front and rear. There are no peels or rips / tears to the laminate or sleeve. There are no rips or tears to the inside sleeve. The spine is not damaged - it is intact, strong, clean with little wear. There are no side or seam splits to the sleeve.
The outer laminated sleeve is not damaged but does have some light wear, more visible under bright light, which I used to grade with. As follows:
- Some light surface 'scratches' from removal from record shelf. These are not deep and mostly visible under bright light.
-Light storage ringwear to front and rear laminate, again visible under bright light but not heavy wear (not visible on inner gatefold).
- Corners have minor bumping and there is light wear to the side openers but this is not heavy or damaged.
- Some occasional and light indentations to the sleeve.
The inner gatefold sleeve has some very light wear but grades EX+. The sleeve is clean with no pen marks or written inscriptions, no sticker marks or rips / tears or splits. It's a really nice copy.
Photos show condition well.
Overall the grading done under bright light is as follows:
Playback - EX to EX+
Vinyl - EX+
Labels - EX
Inners - EX
Inner gatefold sleeve - EX+
Outer laminated sleeve - VG++/EX-
