CONDITION
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT +
Visual: VERY GOOD +
Both surfaces are clean & glossy with no significant marks or wear in strong daylight. Close inspection directly beneath my halogen desk lamp shows up numerous wispy hairlines but nothing I would call a scratch. Both sides lie 100% flat on the turntable with no signs of dishing or warping.
Play: EXCELLENT
Without doubt this LP provides us with the best stereo source for most of these tracks - all of which appear in pristine 'true' stereo. All tracks play perfectly cleanly with amazing clarity & presence with no traces of any play or groove wear. 'Rain' is a particular highlight and its impressive stereo mix is worth buying this album alone for. There is a touch of light background between tracks but this does in no way detracts from a fabulous listening experience.
Cover
VERY GOOD +
A clean & glossy example which bears just some normal handling & storagewear but without any major faults. Both seams and the spine are undamaged and there are no tears, splits or any writing anywhere.
Inner-sleeve
VERY GOOD +
Some normal storagewear creasing & toning to the paper but no splits or tears.
- 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.
