CONDITION
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT
A clean & undamaged set with some light wear around each centre hole only.
Visual: EXCELLENT
Extremely clean and unworn playing surfaces which retain all of their deep-gloss shine with just a couple of small, light surface marks in strong daylight, but nothing I would call a scratch. Closer examination directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp reveals little more than a few wispy, paper-type hairlines together with a sparkling rainbow shine.
Sound Quality: VERY GOOD +
A respectable sounding copy of this masterpiece which has received a moderate amount of careful play and is without any significant deterioration to the sound quality or any major faults. My careful play-check detected a touch of playwear on a few loud peaks & a little low-level vinyl background between tracks, but no clicks, pops, jumps or any other major audible distractions.
Cover: VERY GOOD +
A fine example of this fragile, easily blemished cover which retains a clean, unyellowed & unscratched high-gloss front panel laminate which bears just a single 'thumbnail' wrinkle towards the mouth and a handful of tiny spine wrinkles. There is light shelfwear bruising to all corners and a little wear without any tears or feathering along the opening edge.
The inside of the gatefold is pristine. Both panels are vibrant and unfaded with no writing or missing paper.
The rear panel has some light storage rubbing & a disc impression from storage but all seams of both pockets are smooth & unstressed.
The spine, although a little squashed is readable & undamaged.
Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT
