CONDITION
Disc
Labels: VERY GOOD +
A bright and unworn set with a few minor blemishes & some light spindle trails around each centre hole.
Visual: VERY GOOD
Both playing surface are clean & glossy with no major surface marks or wear in strong daylight. Closer examination directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp reveals numerous light stylus/paper hairlines consistent with frequent play, but nothing which would appear to affect the sound quality.
Sound Quality: VERY GOOD
Often but not overplayed there is some light background on the opening 'I'll Follow The Sun' track but no evidence of groove/play wear distortion on any track. An occasional light clicks can be heard but there are certainly no jumps, repeats or other major faults.
Cover: VERY GOOD
This attractive cover is a little tired but fully intact and without any major faults front or rear.
