CONDITION
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT
Clean and unworn with a small number of light spindle trails around each centre hole.
Visual: EXCELLENT
Very clean deep-gloss playing surfaces which bear a few harmless light hairlines in strong daylight, but no heavy marks or wear. Closer examination directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp reveals some wispy paper-type hairlines but no major blemishes or wear. Both sides of this looked-after copy lie 100% flat on the turntable when playing.
Play: EXCELLENT -
This copy has received some careful play on good equipment and there is no significant deterioration to the sound quality. My play-check at volume picked up a hint of light background on 'My Love' and a few light clicks at the beginning of 'Single Pigeon', but no evidence of any groove/play wear distortion or any other significant or major audible interference.
Cover: EXCELLENT -
A clean, strong and glossy example of this rare cover which bears just some light to moderate storagewear but no major faults. The front panel is clean, glossy and unworn with a few spine bends but no disc impression or 'thumbnail' wrinkles. There is a bump to the upper left corner and minor shelfwear bruising to the others but the opening edges are clean & unworn. Inside, the booklet is still firmly attached and in perfect condition. All seams and the spine are smooth unstressed & unworn.
Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT
Flat & unworn with slight age-toning but no writing, tears or seam splits.
