RECORD CONDITION
Labels: EXCELLENT
The labels are both clean and un-marked with no writing or sticker residue. The spindle wear is only light and would suggest that both sides have been played probably less than 4-5 times
Visual: EXCELLENT
The whole surface of the vinyl has a brilliant clean sheen and still looks absolutely superb. There are no bad marks to report, no gashes or manufacturers defects in the vinyl. A strong light reveals a few light paper scuffs and the odd tiny hairline but that really is it; there are no proper signs of wear on this very well cared for original record.
Play: EXCELLENT
The audio is loud and clear through both playing sides of this record. Nowhere does the album stick or skip and there is no lessening in the sound quality. Anything you pick up in the audio is only what you’d expect from a 43 year old used disc; the very occasional bit of non-intrusive background noise and perhaps the odd isolated pop or click but never anything that can spoil your enjoyment of the music. This is great stuff!
COVER CONDITION
Front laminate flip-back sleeve: EXCELLENT
The whole cover remains completely intact with no serious damage or wear. The laminated front has a few very light laminate creases visible under certain light angles but these are mainly the general small ones near the spine you see on most laminated sleeves. The top and bottom edges are smooth and totally un-scuffed as is the spine which remains firm with clearly legible text. There is the slightest hint of ring-wear developing but it is only ring-wear at its earliest stage and again nothing serious. Any feathering on the side opening is extremely negligible; it’s not a big issue. Basically this is a supremely well cared for original album package.
