CONDITION
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT +
A clean & unblemished set some light spindle trails around each centre hole, but no damage or wear to any of the gold print.
Visual: EXCELLENT +
Immaculate deep-gloss playing surfaces which apart from a single 3cm non-feeable hairline on side 1 are unmarked in strong daylight. Closer examination directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp reveals no other visual blemishes or wear of any kind.
Sound Quality: EXCELLENT
This copy has received a few careful plays on good equipment and is without any significant deterioration to the sound quality throughout. My single careful playcheck at volume detected just a touch of light background in some of the quieter passages & between tracks, but no groove/playwear distortion or any clicks, pops, jumps or indeed any other audible faults or wear.
Cover: VERY GOOD
A clean & richly coloured & fully intact example with light storagewear but no major faults. The striking front panel is bright & unworn with a few small 'thumbnails' towards the opening edge and some minor wear around the edges. There is with a 3cm split to the seam in the lower right corner & minor wear to the opening edges but no tears to either. The rear panel is clean & white with the impression of an erased name along the upper edge. There is a 4cm upper seam split but the spine wording is still readable and lower seams is fully intact. No original inner-sleeve is present.
