Description
Vinyl was play tested through Focal Elegia's and it played as NM-, numerically a cumulative 94 with the most driving issues being a bit of surface noise between the tracks and the slightest hints of surface noise in spots. Visually, I am scoring it as EX relative to a couple of hairlines, there is nothing of any significance and honestly it's probably more NM- than EX but we'll score it on the safe side.
The sleeve is scored as EX, numerically a 92. It's a gloss cover and you can see everything but overall it is nearly as new. The bottom left corner has a 3mm pinch crease. On angles there is a hint of ring wear in the 12 position along with very light hairline marks (I saw three of them and they much less than 1mm wide) that I think came from placing the album in a plastic sleeve. I can also see a pair of creases coming in from the spine running behind the OBI, which I am unable to slide to the right to obtain the lengths. Coming down from the top seam is a super faint crease running (between the T & A and it's almost not even there) 11mm From the OBI running 42mm within the bottom left is the most faint crease but it is there (it almost blends all the way in but on angles and in light you will see it. I'm certain there is additional creasing behind the OBI but I would not suggest trying to move it to the left to find out because once an OBI slides off it is not getting back on). The vast majority of these issues are defects you are going to have to go out of your way to find. The OBI and insert show only light wear. If there is a better copy of the album out there I'd be surprised.
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!
