CONDITION
Disc
Labels: NEAR MINT
A superb set with no more than 2 or 3 light spindle trails to each centre hole.
Visual: NEAR MINT
Pristine, deep-gloss surfaces which are totally unmarked and 'as new' in strong daylight with just a few barely visible wispy paper hairlines directly beneath halogen light. Very hard to upgrade.
Play: NEAR MINT
Everything on this barely played copy sounds fresh, clean & clear with no traces of any groove/play wear or background noise on or between any track, let alone any clicks or pops. Hard to find a better sounding stereo copy.
Cover
EXCELLENT
This fine example bears a striking unyellowed, unscratched high-gloss front panel with just a single faint 'thumbnail', but no storagewear rubbing. The only factor preventing a higher grade is a bump to the lower edge towards the left corner. All the corners themsleves are sharp & square & both opening edges are are clean & unworn. The rear panel is perfectly clean & white with no marks, writing or missing paper. All flipbacks are intact and both seams & the perfectly worded spine are smooth, unstressed and undamaged.
Inner-sleeve
EXCELLENT
Clean & flat with just a few light storage creases but no writing, tears or splits.
- Strict & grading under strong daylight & directly beneath a halogen desk lamp to UK 'RECORD COLLECTOR' standards.
- I carefully play every record I sell on an EMT 950 transcription turntable at volume and list all visual and audible faults.
- All the photos in this listing have been taken by myself and are of the actual items for sale.
- All records are professionally & securely in custom-made record mailing boxes with the disc removed from the cover.
