GRADING (also refer photos)

Cover:

front: VG++ matt finish with glossy appearance: insignificant ring-wear (inner rim – very hard to see), creasing (minor along spine, top & bottom seams), minor surface rubbing + minor spotting (near opening edge), scuffing (minor along bottom seam).

back: VG flipback—matt finish with glossy appearance: ring-wear (inner rim), minor surface rubbing + spotting/discolouration, remnant of price sticker.

Record:

visual: beautiful glossy sheen—insignificant hairlines only & few very light surface scuffs on side 1 only (side 1: VG++ / side 2: EX) (seen under strong light).

audible: VG++ to EX sounds great despite some underlying static (in parts only).  DEFINITELY NO JUMPS or SKIPS – played from beginning to end.  A HIGHLY ENJOYABLE LISTENING EXPERIENCE!

labels: HARDLY ANY SPINDLE WEAR.

POSSIBLY THE BEST COPY OF THE DISC THAT YOU WILL EVER SEE!!
