CONDITION
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT +
Both are clean & unfaded with just a handful of small & light spindle trails around each unworn centre hole, with bright unworn gold print.
Visual: EXCELLENT +
Pristine, deep-gloss playing surfaces which are unmarked in strong daylight with just a few barely visible wispy paper hairlines & a sparkling rainbow shine directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp.
Sound Quality: EXCELLENT
This copy has received just a few careful plays and the sound overall is of the highest quality. The only trace of wear detected during my playcheck was some mild playwear on 'Tell Me'. There are no clicks, pops, ticks or any other audible distractions or faults anywhere.
Cover: VERY GOOD +
A respectable example of this fragile, easily-worn cover which retains a clean front panel bearing a some light storage marks, a few small 'thumbnails' wrinkles & an unavoidable light disc impression. There is a tiny 4mm tear to the front opening edge and two slightly larger repaired ones to the rear edge. The rear panel itself is otherwise clean & white but does have letters written aside the track-listing.
Both seams are unstressed/unsplit and the spine is fully worded.
Inner-sleeve: VERY GOOD
