VISUAL GRADING
Vinyl: NM(-)
Side 1: Only a few faint, fine line marks seen, visible but on the top surface of the platter only, and a couple very fine marks from removal from inner sleeve.
Side 2: A couple of very insignificant marks seen in bright light - SUPER CLEAN!
Overall, there is nothing that affects playback; nothing feelable. A well-cared-for album! VERY CLEAN surface in close, meticulous, BRIGHT light inspection.
Cover: NM(-)
Original owner kept new in original cover on shelf for many years so there is a very minor bit of ring wear, only noticeable in light at angles. It appears that it was hardly ever removed from its place on the shelf so it's only subtle and only in a few places on the front only. We received the record and have since removed the record from cover to be stored properly, so over time it will probably go away. Again, this is being very meticulous, as it is only an extremely critical evaluation.
There's a very small 1/2" corner wear (tiny split) at top opening, and small, minor creases at bottom left along seam, typical of covers that have the record stored inside.
A beautiful glossy first edition cover, with only a couple of minor flaws! Displays wonderfully with no lamination damage. Seams are all thick and glossy with no splits! The first edition COLOR BACK is also in fantastic condition!
Playback Evaluation - Playback is outstanding! CLEAN! Even in the quiet parts it sounds beautiful! Maybe a very light stray tic here and there, at the beginning and end of tracks, etc. A really incredible musical experience.
Includes "Mercury Stereo" original inner paper sleeve with album ads in COLOR, which is fantastic condition as well!
