CONDITION
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT +
A vibrant, unblemished pair with just two faint spindle trails around each centre hole.
Visual: EXCELLENT +
Pristine, deep-gloss playing surfaces which are totally free from any surface scuffs or scratches and appear in strong daylight and display just some harmless wispy paper hairlines upon close examination inspection directly beneath my unforgiving powerful halogen desk lamp. Both sides of this high-quality, heavy copy lies 100% flat on the turntable when playing.
Sound Quality: EXCELLENT +
This great sounding copy has received just a handful of careful plays on good equipment and my single careful play-check at volume detected no trace of any grrove/play wear on any track. Both run-ins and all bands play without interference and there is no background, clicks, ticks or any other audible distraction on this cherished copy which will not disappoint.
Cover: VERY GOOD +
A strong and unworn example which retains a clean & unblemished front panel with just a touch of storage rubbing but no significant signs of wear. There is minor corner bruising and just a touch of wear to the rear opening edge but no tears or feathering. The rear panel bears some handling/age blemishes but is free from any writing or missing paper. All of the delicate flipbacks are fully intact and both seams and the spine are smooth & unworn.
Inner-sleeve: VERY GOOD +
Light storage wrinkles with no seam splits. The disc's catalogue number is written in one upper corner.
