CONDITION
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT
A clean & totally unworn pair showing a small collection of faint spindle trails around each unworn centre hole.
Visual: VERY GOOD +
Both playing surfaces are clean and glossy bearing just one or two light fingernail scuffs in strong daylight but little else of any significance. Closer examination directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp reveals only some harmless wispy-paper-type hairlines consistent with normal play/use but no major blemishes or wear.
Sound Quality: EXCELLENT
This fine sounding copy of this masterful mono mix has received a moderate amount of careful play on good equipment and all tracks are free frmm any groove/playwear distortion, or indeed any other significant audible wear. My single careful play-check at volume detected just a touch of low-level vinyl background between tracks but no heavy clicks, pops, jumps or any other audible distractions.
Cover: EXCELLENT
A highly respectable example of this striking cover which retains a clean, unscratched high-gloss front laminate bearing only 4 small 'thumbnail' wrinkles. All corners are sharp & square with no bumps or bruising to any and both opening edges are undamaged. The rear panel is clean & totally unblemished with just an unavoidable faint disc impression from storage.
Both seams are smooth and unstressed & the spine is readable with just slight wear through the word 'CREAM'.
Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT
Clean & flat with minor storage wrinkling, but no writing, tears or seam splits.
