CONDITION
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT +
A clean & bright set with just a small 'nest' of spindle trails to each centre hole.
Visual: EXCELLENT + 2. EXCELLENT
Both sides of this quality disc are free from any significant surfaces marks or any scratches with just some harmless wispy surface marks on side 2 caused by storage. Both sides lie 100% flat on the turntable with no signs of dishing or warping.
Play: EXCELLENT +
This wonderful warm & clean sounding copy has received just some careful, infrequent play on top quality equipment and all tracks sound 'as new' throughout with no traces of background noise or groovewear distortion in either channel. Apart form a touch of light/normal background in the bands between tracks, there is little else to fault here.
Cover
EXCELLENT
This fine example displays a perfectly clean & unyellowed high-gloss front panel laminate with just a small bend to the lower right corner but no other significant signs of wear. There is some light corner bruising but no wear to either opening edge. The rear panel is overall clean & white with some faint handling marks but no writing or missing paper. All flipbacks are present & clean and both seams and the spine are undamaged.
Inner-sleeve
EXCELLENT
Clean & crisp with slight paper toning but no split, tears or writing.
