LABELS: NEAR MINT
Clean, bright labels with just one or two light spindle traces
VINYL Visual: NEAR MINT
Clean vinyl surfaces which have lost none of there original deep glossy sheen.
Practically unmarked under normal light the surfaces display just wispy light hairlines under bright light - these have no audio impact
VINYL Audio: NEAR MINT
Gorgeous deep, rich, warm and detailed sound - plays beautifully throughout.
My play-check at loud volume revealed no major audio issues of note - no scratches, just a couple of clicks on "Long Piece No.3" (very brief) and no prominent surface noise (rare for this album with its numerous quiet passages).
I also heard no evidence of groove-wear or distortion (it's seen little play) - a really superb copy of this prog-jazz masterpiece and apart from the couple of clicks (which are very brief and in my opinion, incredibly minor) it plays like-new
SLEEVE: NEAR MINT
A beautiful, practically as-new, crisp and fresh sleeve with a deep, deep glossy sheen to the front laminate (completely un-rubbed) and just some very light marks to the white back the only thing preventing a full MINT grading
and the original poly-lined Decca inner sleeve is EXCELLENT++ with no seam splits
ALL RECORDS ARE PACKAGED WITH THE VINYL OUTSIDE OF THE SLEEVE TO PREVENT ANY 'KNIFING' DURING TRANSIT
A PROTECTIVE POLY SLEEVE, NEW INNER SLEEVE WITH ANTI-STATIC LINER, QUALITY BOX (NOT ENVELOPE) MAILER AND AMPLE STIFFENERS ARE ALWAYS USED TO ENSURE THAT YOUR RECORD ARRIVES SAFELY
