Labels: EXCELLENT
Clean & bright with just a small 'nest' of spindle trails around each centre hole.
Visual: EXCELLENT
Perfectly clean, deep-glossy surfaces which bear just a few small light scuff marks on track 2 of side 1, but no other significant marks or in strong daylight
Close inspection directly beneath my halogen desk lamp reveals just some wispy hairlines consistent with careful, infrequent sleeve removal & play, but no major faults.
Play: EXCELLENT +
A great sounding copy which has received only careful play on high-end equipment. The sound is clean & clear throughout with no groovewear or background noise.
Both run-ins and all bands play without intereference and there are no clicks, pops or any other such distractions anywhere.
Cover
EXCELLENT
An extremely clean & strong example which retains a pristine undamaged high-gloss front laminate with no 'thumbnails' or any other signficant signs of wear.
All corners and both opening edges are totally undamaged with no bumps, bruising, tears or 'feathering' to any.
The rear panel is clean & white with just a few dirty fingermarks, but no writing or missing paper.
There is some minor damage to the lower right corner flipback but both seams & the spine are smooth & undamaged.
Inner-sleeve
VERY GOOD +
Crisp & clean with just some creasing from storage.
- Strict & grading under strong daylight & directly beneath a halogen desk lamp based on UK 'RECORD COLLECTOR' standards.
- I carefully play every record I sell on a $5,000 Rega P9 turntable at volume and list all visual and audible faults.
- All the photos in this listing have been taken by myself and are of the actual items for sale.
- All records are professionally & securely in custom-made record mailing boxes with the disc removed from the cover.
