LABELS: M-/M-/M-/M-
Clean, bright, fresh and unmarked labels with just one light spindle trace evident on each side
VINYL Visual: NM/NM/NM/VG(NM apart from the light scratch)
All four sides retain their original deep glossy sheen and are beautifully clean. There is however one small flaw; Side Four has a light scratch on "The Narrow Way" which looks like it may have been caused by a speck of grit inside the inner sleeve scratching the record when it was taken out - its light and has barely any audio impact (please see details below) otherwise, Side Four also looks NM
VINYL Audio: NM/NM/NM/NM-
Sounds sensational throughout with no prominent surface noise or crackle - beautifully clean (play-checked at loud volume). The light scratch mentioned above (which looks like it may sound) has no real audio consequence at all - just one or two (max) light clicks as it is passed over - very minor and non-intrusive. This is an exceptional clean playing copy and one which is very, very highly recommended
SLEEVE: NM
The wide spine gatefold is also in lovely condition with no edge or spine wear to speak of (just light 'bumps' to the spine corners) and the outer laminated surfaces have a deep, glass-like glossy sheen. The inside is clean, fresh and unmarked
INNER SLEEVES: EX+ /EX+
Both inners are clean with no seam splits (just some light creasing)
ALL RECORDS ARE PACKAGED WITH THE VINYL OUTSIDE OF THE SLEEVE TO PREVENT ANY 'KNIFING' DURING TRANSIT
A PROTECTIVE POLY SLEEVE, NEW INNER SLEEVE WITH ANTI-STATIC LINER, QUALITY BOX (NOT ENVELOPE) MAILER AND AMPLE STIFFENERS ARE ALWAYS USED TO ENSURE THAT YOUR RECORD ARRIVES SAFELY
