CONDITION
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT +
A superb, unworn pair with just a small collection of tiny spindle trails around each unworn centre hole.
Visual: EXCELLENT +
Both playing surfaces are extremely clean & retain all of thier deep-gloss shine. Careful inspection in strong daylight reveals one or two harmless stylus hairlines and some faint marks from inner-sleeve storage & removal but no scuffs or other significant blemishes. Close examination directly beneath halogen desk lamp reveals little more than a few insignificant paper hairlines and a healthy rainbow shine. Both sides of this fine copy lie 100% flat on the turntable when playing, with no traces of dishing or warping.
Play: EXCELLENT +
This great sounding copy has received just a few careful plays on good equipment and the sound throughout is full, clean & clear. My careful play-check at volume found no evidence of any groove/play wear distortion, clicks, pops or any other significant audible wear and apart from some occasional light background during some of the quieter passages of the orchestral suite, there is little else to fault audibly.
Cover
EXCELLENT
A vivid & vibrant example with just a touch of storage wear but no significant or major faults. The front panel is clean & glossy with slight storage rubbing to the laminate and two small 'thumbnails' towards the opening edge. All corners are sharp and square and free from any heavy bumps or bruising. There is a hint of wear to both opening edges but no tears or feathering to either. The exposed rear panel is extremely clean & white and free from any marks, writing or missing paper. All flipbacks are intact and undamaged and apart from a little flaking to the laminate along the lower seam, they are both unstressed & undamaged. The spine is clean & fully worded with no damage along any part of its length.
Inner-sleeve
EXCELLENT +
A super unworn example with just the unavoidable faint disc impression but no tears or splits to any seam.
