Vinyl: EXCELLENT
Visually the vinyl is glossy and clean. Only subtle light hairline marks can be seen on the surface. The labels are clean, bright and without writing. EXCELLENT. The audio is great, quiet lead-ins to both sides and in between tracks. There are no pops, skips or jumps. A fantastic listening experience. EXCELLENT.
Sleeve: EXCELLENT
The sleeve looks great. The front and rear retain a glossy finish with bright colours. The centre fold is without staining or discolouration. There is no sign of ring wear, fully readable spine with only minor wear, top and bottom edge without wear, and corners with just mild rounding. Superb!
Inner Sleeve: EXCELLENT
The original polythene lined, die cut Emitex inner sleeve looks great. It has no staining or discolouration and shows only minimal creasing. Also included in the sale is an audiophile quality, anti-static inner sleeve to help protect and preserve the fantastic record.
Items are sent via an insured courier within a padded vinyl mailer.
