CONDITION
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT
A clean & bright set with just a small collection of spindle trails around each centre hole.
Visual: VERY GOOD +
Both surfaces this respectable looking disc are clean and bright in strong daylight with no scuffs, mark or scratch visible on either side. Close & careful inspection directly under my powerful halogen light reveals some very light insignificant faint marks from inner-sleeve storage but no other significant blemishes. Both sides lie 100% flat on the turntable with no signs of dishing or warping.
Play: VERY GOOD
This copy has received numerous careful plays but is without any major deterioration to the sound quality throughout. All tracks play without any groovewear distortion and my careful playcheck uncovered only some light background between tracks and during some of the quieter passages. Aside from a few light ticks on the side 2 run-in, there are no further audible faults or wear on this well-looked after copy.
Cover
VERY GOOD
The delicate front leaf is clean, bright & glossy with just minor storagewear rubbing to the edges but no heavy creasing or tears to any. All corners are free from any heavy bumps and the rear panel displays just a slight disc impression but again no major signs of wear.
Both panels of the inside gatefold are clean and black where they should be with no marks, writing or missing paper anywhere. The fragile hinge are fully intact with no tears or splits to either end. All seams are smooth and undamaged, as is the white, square spine which still retains its factory 'pinched' ends.
Inner-sleeve
VERY GOOD
Some general age-toning & light storagwear but no tears, splits or writing.
- Strict & grading under strong daylight & directly beneath a halogen desk lamp to 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.
- Please take a look at my About Me page for more details.
