CONDITION / ADDITIONAL INFO

SLEEVE  VG. White, die-cut on one side, generic paper sleeve. 

RECORD  GOOD only. The record has what appears to be (an approx.) 1/2" crack to the right hand side as you're looking at it from the front. I say 'appears' because although it looks like a crack the vinyl hasn't actually split and astoundingly it has no marked effect on play. This (non) 'crack' is slightly convex on the 'A' side and therefore slightly concave on the reverse. There's a couple of clicks about 1/2 way through the 'B' side but other than that and about 3 seconds of intro crackle you'd never know it was there audio-wise. No jumps, no sticks. I was astonished quite frankly when I test played it but there you go. Had it not been for this blemish I would've graded it a VG as the only other faults are several light surface scratches to the 'A' side (and they genuinely are only on the surface and not gouged into the vinyl). I tried to show all this on the scans but no matter how much I messed around with the contrast and brightness I couldn't really get it to show. That's scanners for you.

Basically then, looks decidedly 'iffy' but plays great. A good collection filler until a better one comes along?
