LABELS: MINT
Clean, factory-fresh labels with no spindle traces at all that I can see. The spindle hole is quite tight
VINYL Visual: MINT
Clean, unmarked surfaces which shine like-new.
The record undulated slightly when revolving on the turntable but this has absolutely no effect on the playback
VINYL Audio: MINT
Sensational sound performance throughout (crisp, clean, sharp and fresh) and my play-check at loud volume revealed no major audio issues. There is a touch of crackle between just one of two of the tracks (inherent in these early Island pressings) but no other audible distractions of any kind. A beautiful copy which looks and sounds like it was pressed yesterday
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT
Apart from some discolouration to the white of the cover (purely due to age) and some record impression (from storage) the sleeve is in great shape with little edge or spine wear to speak of - all text on the (very) thin spine is clear and bold
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
