Vinyl VG/VG to VG-? (Goldmine/Record Collector standard)
Vinyl has hairlines and lite brushing, mostly seen under hard light. Some short odd surface marks/thumbnails you can see, none that are feelable, none cause any arresting audible problems.
Plays with very mild-lite background noise/crackle in more quiet places, mainly intro side 1, then peeters out throughout each side. It does not overpower the music. After a couple listens I think I may've over described any backgroud noise as I have to strain to hear it now.
A few faint ticks in places, but No skips or jumps (let alone loud ticks or pops).
Labels pretty clean with no ex owners markings, very lite evidence of short tight spindle runs under strong light on side 1, can't see any on side 2...But there is a SURFACE TEAR on Side One in Red dead space, no impact on any text (see photo)
I find it hard to call it VG+ but some might.For others might be G+…either way it plays pretty clean with lite intermittent background noise and lite odd ticks, no deep feelable marks only visual. It is a good player, it is a good looker. PLAYS CLEAN THROUGH.
Sleeve VG/VG+
First run Turquoise lettering on front cover. Grey angled bar at bottom of front edge.
Double Laminate is intact on front and back, some laddering cracks on spine, no interferance to lettering (see photo).
Some creasing/thumbing, mainly on openening side.
Lite bump/wear to corners but no overt wear/NO seam splits to edges.
Spine Titles intact!
[Pls note: any browning/yellow seen in the white ground of front cover is reflection, it is white under/around the Zeppelin]
Inner sleeve VG/VG+
British Patent No 800513 973939
Completely Intact
No tears or seam splits, only some aged poly glue staining and general sun tanning/age browning.
Will be very well and appropriately packed.
