CONDITION
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT +
Visual: EXCELLENT +
Both sides of this extremely heavy disc are immaculate in strong daylight with no scuffs, marks or any other significant blemishes. Close examination directly beneath my halogen desk lamp reveals just some superficial, harmless wispy inner-sleeve removal hairlines but no further signs of wear. Both sides lie 100% flat on the turntable with no signs of dishing or warping.
Play: 1. EXCELLENT + 2. EXCELLENT
This was the final corrected mix of this LP to be mixed and is the finest of all. From the silent side 1 run in and unworn introduction to 'Drive My Car' it is clear that this copy has been barely played. Everything is clean and has a warmth and depth missing from the earlier, more compressed cuts. My careful playcheck found no evidence of any groovewear or background noise on any track. Apart from an occasional light tick on side 2, there really is little of any significance to fault. I guarantee that you wil not be disappointed with this fabulous mix.
Cover
VERY GOOD
General handling & storagewear but without any major faults. The rear panel is discoloured but is with without writing or missing paper. Both seams and the fully worded spine are all fully intact and undamaged.
Inner-sleeve
VERY GOOD +
Clean & crisp with slight toning but no splits, tears or writing.
- 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.
