Condition
Labels: EXCELLENT +
Visual: EXCELLENT +
This extremely well-looked after and barely played copy retains all of its deep-goss shine with no visible marks in strong daylight. Close and careful directly under halogen light revels just a few barely visible wispy inner-sleeve removal hairlines but no scuffs, scratches or other traces of wear. An thick & heavy copy which lies 100% flat both sides on the turntable with no signs or dishing or warping.
Play: EXCELLENT +
This very refined sounding copy has clearly received just a few extremely careful plays on top quality equipment. All tracks on my careful & critical play-check revealed no traces of groovewear distortion or background noise anywhere. Even the easily damaged introduction to 'Drive My Car' and the delicate 'Michelle' are both immaculate and unworn. Apart from a touch of normal/light background between tracks, there is little to fault on this impressive copy.
Cover
EXCELLENT
A very clean and strong 'thick' card example with a bright an undamaged high-gloss front laminate which bears minor storagewear but no thumbnails or any other significant signs of wear. The corners are clean & square with just minimal shelfwear and both opening edges are undamaged. The rear panel is very clean and white with no fingermarks, stains, writing or missing paper. All flipbacks are clean, intact & undamaged and both the seams and spine are unstressed and unsplit.
Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT
Crisp and flat with no tears, writing 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.

- 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 mailing boxes with the disc removed from the cover. All text & images © Bright Field Music 2008
