CONDITION
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT +
Both are clean and bright with just a small handful of spindle trails on the side 1 label and just ONE on side 1.
Visual: EXCELLENT +
Pristine, deep-gloss unworn playing surfaces which apart form a tiny 2mm, non-feelable mark on the final track of side 2 are unmarked and 'as new' in strong daylight. Close inspection directly beneath my unforgiving halogen desk lamp reveals no further blemishes or wear whatsoever. A very tough copy to upgrade.
Sound Quality: EXCELLENT +
This disc has received just a handful of careful plays and the sound throughout is warm and full and free from any noticeable audible faults. My playcheck detected only a touch of light background between tracks and a hint of wear on the final track, 'Money'. Apart from that, there is nothing to fault on this keeper copy.
Cover: VERY GOOD +
A respectable example of this scarce variant with a clean, unyellowed which bears several large 'thumbnail' and spine wrinkles. There is minor wear to the corners but none to the opening edges, which appear to have been slightly trimmed. The rear panel has been rather harshly 'cleaned' but is white and clean. All flipbacks are fully intact and both seams are smooth and unstressed.
There is some wear to the spine wording but both seams are smooth & unstressed.
Inner-sleeve: VERY GOOD +
Clean & flat with mild age-toning & a taped side seam.
