CONDITION
DISC
Labels: EXCELLENT +
A fine unworn set bearing a small number of light spindle trails around each unworn centre hole.
Visual: VERY GOOD +
Very clean deep-gloss clean playing surfaces which apart from light, non-feeable 4.5cm hairline and a small light scuff on side 1, show no significiant signs of wear in strong daylight. Closer inspection directly beneath halogen light reveals a some wispy marks and hairlines but no other major issues.
Audio: EXCELLENT
This nice sounding disc has not been overplayed and the sound quality throughout is warm and clear with no groove/playwear distortion. Our play-check detected one or two light ticks but no jumps, repeats or any other major audible issues.
Cover: EXCELLENT
A clean, glossy & fully intact with a little light storagewear only. The iconic front panel is bright and unworn showing just two small 'thumbnail' wrinkles. The corners & opening edges are in nice shape with no bumps or bruising anywhere. The rear panel has a handful of 'thumbnails' along the opening edge but is otherwise unworn. The spine is clean & fully worded and both seams are tight and unstressed.
Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT
Clean & white with a few gentle handling wrinkles only.
