Condition:
Vinyl: EXCELLENT +
Labels: EXCELLENT +
The labels are bright, clean and without writing. Only a handful of light spindle marks can be seen on either side.
Visual: EXCELLENT
Immaculate 'factory-fresh' deep-gloss playing surfaces which only show a couple of subtle 'inner sleeve paper scuffs' in bright daylight. Underneath a halogen desk lamp a few barely visible wispy hairlines can be seen alongside a sparkling rainbow shine.
Sound Quality: EXCELLENT +
The heavy-weight vinyl sounds superb. The record has clearly only ever been played on good quality equipment. The lead-ins are quiet and there is minimal static in between tracks. The record plays with the distinction one might expect from such an early pressing throughout. The bass is punchy, the vocals are crisp and clear and the instrumentation is well defined. It's great.
Sleeve: EXCELLENT +
The rare sleeve looks fantastic. The front laminate retains the original lustre and the cover art maintains vibrant, deep colour. The rear is very clean with only subtle signs of handling discolouration. All four corners are crisp and sharp.The top, bottom and opening edges along with the spine are without any wear.
Inner Sleeve: EXCELLENT
The original inner sleeve is in great condition. It is very clean, without any staining and with minimal creasing. It is slightly discoloured. The vinyl is housed inside an audiophile quality, anti-static inner sleeve to help protect and preserve the record and inner sleeve.
