Condition
Labels: EXCELLENT +
Visual: EXCELLENT +
Totally pristine & unmaked surfaces which bear no scuffs, marks or scratches whatsoever. Apart from a few barely visible wispy inner-sleeve removal hairlines directly under halogen light, this copy appears 'as new'.
Play: EXCELLENT
Top class audio from this oustanding early stereo mix, each track plays with enormous energy and presence. Apart from some minor playwear on the final tracks on each side, all the music plays cleanly & clearly. There are no clicks, pops or any other faults or wear on this extremely well looked-after copy.
Cover
VERY GOOD +
This early cover has some light handling and storagewear but retains a bright and clean front laminate. Thereis a small repair to the front opening edge and light shelfwear to the lower corners. The rear panel bears some toning but is overall clean with no writing or missing paper. All flipbacks are in-place and the spine & seams are all undamaged.
- Strict & grading under strong daylight & halogen light based upon UK 'RECORD COLLECTOR' standards.
- I play every record I sell at volume on high-end audio equipment and list all visual and audible faults.
- Unless stated, all records lie 100% flat & play without distortion, jumps or sticks. All sleeves/covers have no writing, splits or tears.
- The listing photos have been taken by myself and are of the actual items for sale.
- All records are packed strongly & securely in custom-made record maling boxes with the disc removed from the cover. All text & images © Bright Field Music 2008
