Record
Labels: EXCELLENT
Visual: EXCELLENT
Extremely clean & glossy surfaces which bear just a single faint scuff line, just visible in daylight but no other significant marks or wear. Some light inner-sleeve removal hairlines are visible beneath halogen light, there are no major marks or wear anywhere on this well looked-after copy.
Play: EXCELLENT
Massive, warm & clean sound throughout on this early pressing. Apart from a touch of playwear on 'Michelle', there is is little to fault - no background crackle or groovewear distortion is to be heard. Both run-ins & all bands play extremely quietly and there are no heavy clicks, pops, jump or any further significant or major audible faults anywhere.
Cover
EXCELLENT
Clean, glossy & undamaged front panel with just a single 'thumbnail' crease near the opening edge but no heavy spine bends. The corners bear slight storagewear but are clean & unbumped. The opening egdes have some minor wear but are undamaged. The rear has a few faint age-marks but is otherwise clean & white with no writing or missing paper. The flipbacks, seams & the spine are all intact & unsplit.
- Strict grading under strong daylight & halogen light to UK 'RECORD COLLECTOR' standards.
- I play every record I sell at volume and list all visual and audible faults.
- Unless stated, all records lie 100% flat & play without distortion, jumps or sticks & all sleeves 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 tightly in strong custom made record boxes with the disc removed from the cover. PayPal—eBay's service to make fast, easy, and secure payments for your eBay purchases!
