CONDITION
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT
Clean & unblemished with nothing more than a moderate collection of spindle trails around each centre hole.
Visual: EXCELLENT
Bright & unworn playing surfaces which retain an excellent deep-gloss shine with just one or two harmless light surface lines on each side in strong daylight, but nothing I would call a scratch. Close inspection beneath my unforgiving halogen desk lamp adds no further traces of wear - just a sparkling rainbow shine.
Sound Quality: EXCELLENT -
This disc has received a moderate amount of very careful play and is without any significant deterioration to the sound quality or any major audible faults. My playcheck found no evidence of any groove/playwear distortion on any track, just a touch of low-level vinyl background during some of the album's few quieter passages. A very enjoyable listen.
Cover: EXCELLENT
A firm and fully intact example with a clean & glossy front panel laminate where the only hint of wear are two small 'thumbnail' wrinkles towards the front opening edge. All corners are square and unworn and both opening edges are free from any tears or feathering. The rear panel shows some age toning and a few aged handling marks, but is without any writing or missing paper.
Both seams are smooth & unstressed & the spine is unworn & fully worded.
Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT
