CONDITION (using RRPG grading):
VINYL: EXCELLENT++
Both sides of this stunning 155g vinyl have a superb deep, black sheen.
Visually, it is very close to NEAR MINT and looks barely-played.
Just a few very faint paper sleeve "removal" marks and a couple of other faint hairline marks on each side - which can only be seen when viewed at an angle and under a strong halogen lamp.
Both sides of vinyl have just a few light static "pops" and some minimal audio "crackles" which are only present in very small sections of this remarkable record. These are never heard "above" the original recording and do not affect your enjoyable listening experience in any way.
Audio playback ranges from 7.5-9/10 throughout.
This first UK press has a loud, strong and well-defined audio reproduction - much stronger and with more clarity than later pressings I have heard.
You will not be disappointed with its AWESOME playback.
Record sits flat and plays through with no sticks, skips or jumps.
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT++
Very, very light signs of ringwear and a tiny amount of laminate creasing in parts. No bumps, tears, folds, splits, stickers or writing.
SPINE: EXCELLENT++
Just one very small "pull" in the laminate towards its centre. No tears, bumps or folds.
LABELS: NEAR MINT
Just a few very light spindle marks - only visible when viewed at an angle and under a strong halogen lamp. No writing, tears or stickers.
OTHER: Inner paper sleeve with poly dust liner is EXCELLENT+. No splits, tears or writing.
