CONDITION (using RRPG grading):
VINYL: EXCELLENT++
Both sides of this stunning 125g vinyl have a superb deep, black sheen.
Visually, it is excellent+ and looks barely-played.
Just a few very light paper sleeve "removal" marks and some other faint hairline marks on each side - most of which can only be seen when viewed at an angle and under a strong halogen lamp.
Both sides of vinyl have just a few light and very occasional static "pops" and minimal amount of static "crackle" - which are only present very occasionally and in the very quiet sections of this remarkable record.
Side A, Track 5 starts with a tiny and minimal amount of static "crackle" which very quickly disappears. It also has a "pop" sound which can be heard for just six revolutions before disappearing. There is no visible mark on the vinyl which causes this "pop".
Side B, Track 1 has a "pop" sound which can be heard for just four revolutions before disappearing. There is no visible mark on the vinyl which causes this "pop".
The "pops" and "crackle" on this vinyl are tiny and insignificant and are never heard "above" the original recording.
They do not affect what is an INCREDIBLE listening experience in any way.
This really is a superb copy with TOP AUDIO and the overall playback and sonic quality in most parts is truly BREATHTAKING.
This first UK press has a loud, strong and well-defined audio reproduction - much stronger and with more clarity than later pressings I have heard.
Audio playback ranges from 7.5-9/10 throughout.
You will not be disappointed with this vinyl's AWESOME audio and playback quality - GUARANTEED.
Record sits flat and plays through with no sticks, skips or jumps.
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT++
The thick, unlaminated card gatefold sleeve is made from very delicate material and - in nearly all examples - always suffers from wear.
Outside is a very strong EXCELLENT++ with just minor (but very acceptable) signs of ringwear and storage wear to both front and back and to the corners.
The opening edge is still sharp with little wear.
No tears, folds, splits, stickers or writing - which makes it very acceptable and collectable.
Inside is also a very strong EXCELLENT++ (close to a near mint copy) with only very minor signs of wear.
No tears, folds, splits, stickers or writing - which makes it very acceptable and collectable.
SPINE: EXCELLENT+
Wear to both corner edges and along its top edge only.
Text is fully readable.
No tears, splits or folds.
LABELS: NEAR MINT
Hardly any spindle marks - even when viewed at an angle and under a strong halogen lamp.
No writing, tears or stickers.
OTHER: Original inner paper lyrics sleeve is EXCELLENT++ (close to near mint). No splits, tears or writing.
100% Refund on any item if you are not happy with your order (full purchase price plus postage).
