LABELS: NEAR MINT
Clean, fresh and unmarked labels with 2/3 light spindle traces and the 'KT' tax code is prominent and unrubbed
VINYL Visual: NEAR MINT
Both surfaces retain their original deep, like new glossy sheen and are practically unmarked - wispy hairlines only
VINYL Audio: NEAR MINT
My careful play-check at loud volume revealed no audio issues of note whatsoever - no scratches, no clicks/pops, no surface noise and no groove-wear or distortion - it plays beautifully from start to finish with a clean, sharp and fresh sound - a beautiful copy which has seen very little play
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT
The front laminated G&L flick cover is also in great condition with a deep glossy sheen to the front laminate and a clean untreated back. The edges and spine show practically no wear (light feathering to the opening edge only) and all spine text is clear and bold - a very fine example
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 NEW ANTI-STATIC LINER, QUALITY BOX (NOT ENVELOPE) MAILER AND AMPLE STIFFENERS ARE ALWAYS USED TO ENSURE THAT YOUR RECORD ARRIVES SAFELY
