VINYL
PLAYTEST
The LP plays superbly, quiet between tracks, and does not skip or jump.
Playtest grade is NEAR MINT.
Visual
Visually the vinyl is graded as EX++, and looks unmarked in normal light. Even under a spotlight only a small number of feint hairline surface marks can be seen.
None of these affect the audio.
Record Label
The record label has just a few spindle marks that are not very noticeable.
COVER
The cover is graded EX- with a laminated front cover, and an unlaminated back cover.
The cover has no damage or writing or labels.
The front cover is clean and shiny, with just some very feint ringwear impression and laminate blistering along the left side edge only.
The back cover has some partial ringwear and handling wear.
The corners and edges have very minimal wear.
The spine has just a couple of marks in the laminate, with all the lettering clearly visible.
Please see my feedback on selling LPs over the last couple of years.
The record will be packed in a stiff package specifically designed for sending vinyl throught the post, with added protection on the corners
