CONDITION
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT +
A superb set with just a small handful of light, well-aimed faint spindle trails around each unworn centre hole.
Visual: EXCELLENT +
Both playing surfaces or this cherished copy retain all or their 'as new' deep-gloss shine and apart from a single 3cm stylus hairline are completely unmarked in strong daylight. Even close examination directly beneath my unforgiving halogen desk lamp fails to reveal any other blemishes or wear, just a sparkling rainbow shine.
Sound Quality: EXCELLENT +
Played sparingly on high-end equipment only, this is a wonderful sounding copy bears no trace of any groove/playwear distortion on any track or in either channel. The only distraction which caught my ear during my single careful play-check at volume were a few faint ticks in a few of the bands between tracks, but definitely nothing to spoil the listening experience of this incredible album.
Cover: EXCELLENT
A fine example of this easily blemished cover which has been carefully stored this past 45 years in a clean, non-smoking environment. The front panel is clean and white with no toning or discolouration to any area. It has retained all of its high-glossy laminate which bears just a small handful of barely visible 'thumbnail' wrinkles towards the front opening edge. All corners are in excellent shape and there is no damage or wear to either opening edge. The rear panel is clean & black where it should be with no storagewear rubbing, writing or missing paper.
All flipbacks are perfectly clean & fully intact and both seams and the spine are smooth, unstressed and completely unworn.
Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT +
Clean & flat with just the unavoidable faint disc impression, but no writing, tears or splits to any seam.
