Description
Vinyl was play tested through Focal Elegia's and it played as NM- on the A-side and EX+ on the B-side. Numerically I score the play a 95 and 93 respectively (I start EX at 93 like a solid A-). The most noticeable issue is on B1 where there was a bit of surface noise at the very start of the track. A visual inspection is in line with the play. There are some tiny marks on the A-side and super light marks on the B-side. Overall this sounds wicked good (I played it twice because it was so good) and is about as good as it will get.
The sleeve is scored as EX+ and numerically a 93. It's a high gloss cover and overall it almost looks NM outright but there are tiny bumps (it's 6mm on the left side and 3mm on the right side). Running in from the spine behind the OBI I can see three faint creases but I couldn't (and didn't want to force) move the OBI. Besides this it looks brand new and is really probably NM- anyway but we'll grade it EX (even though it really is NM-). It might well be the best overall copy around.
Album will be mailed in a cardboard mailer between cardboard with bubble wrap. If you have any questions please let me know and thanks for looking!
