CONDITION
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT +
A clean & unworn pair bearing just a small handful of well-aimed faint spindle trails around each unworn centre hole.
Visual: EXCELLENT +
Pristine deep-gloss playing surfaces which retain all of their factory shine and are unmarked in strong daylight. Even close examination directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp fails to reveal anything more than a few harmless wispy paper hairlines and a sparkling rainbow shine.
Sound Quality: EXCELLENT +
A wonderful sounding pressing which has received very little play and retains all of its warmth and depth unmatched on any other format of this album. My playcheck found no evidence of any groove/playwear distortion, just a few light ticks between some tracks but no other significant audible distractions or wear.
Cover: EXCELLENT +
An exceptional example of this seldom-seen cover variant which retains a sparkling unworn & unscratched high-gloss laminate to its delicate front leaf, free fromm any creasing or wrinkling. All exposed edges are sharp & unworn and all corners are free from any heavy bumps or bruising.
Both panels inside are clean & unblemished, and free from any writing or missing paper
The rear panel is as clean & glossy as the front but has two wrinkles towards the lower edge of the panel, but no ringwear.
All seams are smooth & unstressed and the spine is square and uncrushed with a clean, unworn text.
Inner-sleeve: VERY GOOD
General light storagewear without any major faults.
