CONDITION
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT +
A clean & undamaged set bearing a handful of light spindle trails around each unworn centre hole
Visual: EXCELLENT
Exceptionally clean & unworn playing surfaces which apart from 2/3 faint stylus hairlines on side 1 are unmarked in strong daylight, with only the faintest trace of inner-sleeve storage beneath my powerful and unforgiving halogen desk lamp
Sound Quality: EXCELLENT +
An outstanding sounding disc which has received just a handful of careful plays on top-quality equipment. The sound is clean, warm and unworn throughout with no trace of any groove/playwear distortion. In fact, apart from a hint of regular low-level vinyl background between tracks, it is without fault.
Cover: EXCELLENT -
A strong and fully intact example with minor age-related wear only
The high-gloss front panel is clean & unscratched with just a single tiny 'thumbnail' and spine wrinkle.
There are tiny bruises to the right corners and a touch of wear to the rear opening edge only. The rear panel has some age-discolouration/foxing, mostly to the exposed flipback edges, but is otherwise free from any major wear.
Both seams are smooth & unstressed and the spine is fully laminated & worded
Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT
Clean & crisp with a few gentle storage wrinkles but no writing, tears or seam splits
