CONDITION
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT +
Both are clean & unworn with just a small handful of light spindle trails around each unworn centre hole.
Visual: EXCELLENT +
Extremely clean, deep-gloss playing surfaces which bear little more than some harmless inner-sleeve storage/removal marks beneath my powerful halogen desk.
Sound Quality: NEAR MINT
This fine sounding copy has received minimal careful play on good equipment as the sound quality is clean, warm & clear throughout. My playcheck found no evidence of any groove/playwear distortion in either channel or any clicks, ticks or other such distractions. In fact, apart from a touch of low-level vinyl background between tracks, there is little to fault here.
Cover: VERY GOOD
This example is a little tired but fully intact and without any major faults. The front panel is clean & glossy with some wrinkling to the laminate in the upper left area and along the spine. The rear panel is clean and unmarked and all of the flipbacks are intact.
Both seams are smooth & unstressed and the spine is clean & fully worded.
Inner-sleeve: VERY GOOD
A few age-related stains but no writing or seams splits.
