Condition
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT +
Visual: EXCELLENT
Both surfaces of this well-looked after copy are clean, bright & glossy. The disc's only significant blemish in strong daylight are two small & faint fingernail scuffs on side 2. Inspection directly under halogen light reveals nothing further than a few minor hairlines on side 2 and some wispy inner-sleeve removal paper marks, but no other marks or wear on either side.
Play: EXCELLENT
This copy has received just some careful, infrequent play & all tracks play clearly and cleanly with no groovewear distortion or background noise. Apart from an occaisional light tick on side 1, there is little to fault on this very respectable sounding copy.
Cover:
VERY GOOD
A very clean & firm example with a bright, glossy front panel laminate showing no significant signs of wear. There is some rubbing to the left corners but both opening edges are clean an undamaged with no tears or feathering. Apart form a name discreetly written in the upper right corner, the rear panel is clean and white with no missing paper, marks or staining. All flipbacks are in-place and both seams are strong and unsplit. The spine is clean & fully worded.
Inner-sleeve
VERY GOOD +
Slight storagewear but clean & flat with no tears or splits.
- Strict & grading under strong daylight & halogen light based upon UK 'RECORD COLLECTOR' standards.
- I play every record I sell at volume on high-end audio equipment and list all visual and audible faults.
- Unless stated, all records lie 100% flat & play without distortion, jumps or sticks. All sleeves/covers have no writing, splits or tears.
- The listing photos have been taken by myself and are of the actual items for sale.
- All records are packed strongly & securely in custom-made record maling boxes with the disc removed from the cover. All text & images © Bright Field Music 2008
