CONDITION

Disc

Labels: EXCELLENT

A well preserved pair with just a touch of wear to the side 2 centre hole and a small collection of light spindle marks to both.

Visual: EXCELLENT

This well-looked after and rarely played copy retains extremely clean & bright surfaces which display just two or three barely visible stylus hairlines on side 2 but side 1 is unmarked in strong daylight. Apart from some insignificant and harmless wispy inner.sleeve removal hairlines, there is are no further blemishes or wear directly beneath my unforgiving halogen desk lamp. Both sides also lie 100% flat on the turntable when playing.

Play: EXCELLENT +

This clear, clean & warm sounding copy has clearly only recieved some careful play on top-quality equipment. My careful play-check at volume found absolutely no evidence of any groove/play wear distortion on or between any track or in either channel. One to really enjoy.

Cover

EXCELLENT

A very strong and clean example with an unscratched & glossy front panel laminate which displays just two tiny 'thumbnails' but no other creasing or significant wear. The corners are square and free form any major bumps but there is some light rubbing to the opening edges - most likely from storage rather than handling wear. The rear panel is extremely clean & white with no significant blemishes or any writing or missing paper. All flipbacks are in-place with just a tiny repair to the upper left corner but no missing sections or paper. Both seams and the fully worded spine are all smooth, unstressed and undamaged.

Inner-sleeve

EXCELLENT -

Clean & crisp & flat with some minor age-toning but no writing, tears or seam splits.
