CONDITION
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT
A clean & unblemished pair with numerous spindle trails to each centre hole, but no other marks or wear.
Visual: EXCELLENT
Unmarked, deep-gloss surfaces which display no scuffs, marks or scratches of any kind when examined in strong daylight and display only some harmless wispy paper-type hairlines directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp, consistent only with careful play.
Play: EXCELLENT +
The sound throughout this well-looked after copy is clean, clear & unworn throughout suggesting that it has only ever been played on high-end equipment. My careful play-check at volume found no evidence of any groove/play wear distortion on any track or in either channel or indeed any clicks, pops or any other such audible distraction or wear.
Cover
EXCELLENT +
A super clean & strong example which retains an unscratched and unworn high-loss laminate all-round. In fact the cover's only sign of wear is a single small 'thumbnail' wrinkle on the front and rear panel. All corners are unbumped & unbruised and both opening edges are totally unworn. The inside of the gatefold is clean & glossy and all seams are smooth, unstressed & unsplit. The spine is fully worded and the laminate is fully intact and unsplit along its entire length.
Inner-sleeve
VERY GOOD
Some general handling wear but no splits, tears or writing.
