CONDITION
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT
A clean & unworn pair showing just a small number of faint spindle trails around each unworn centre hole
Visual: VERY GOOD +
Both playing surfaces are clean and free from any noticeable surface marks or wear on strong daylight. Close inspection beneath my unforgiving halogen desk lamp reveals some harmless wispy abrasions from the turntable/inner-sleeve contact and a single 4mm mark on track 2 on side 1.
Sound Quality: VERY GOOD +
Carefully and certainly not overplayed, this respectable sounding disc is free from any groove/playwear distortion or crackle. My playcheck detected a few background clicks on 'Eight Days A week', due to the aforementioned mark, but apart from that a some low-level vinyl background between tracks, there is little else to fault.
Cover: VERY GOOD -
A fully intact example with a clean front panel but with many small edge wrinkles and a few 'thumbnails' There is moderate wear to the corners and opening edges but no tears or splits. The rear panel has some discolouration and a partially erased name in the upper left corner, along with general handling wear.
Both seams are smooth and unstressed and the spine is clearly and fully worded.
