RECORD
The Record is virtually blemish free even under bright light and has almost no surface hairlines. I have played the record all the way through on both sides and it plays EXCELLENT++.
LABELS
The Labels have no rips, stains, graffiti or spindle marks.
RECORD IS GRADED AS EXCELLENT++ CONDITION
SLEEVE
The original Gatefold Sleeve has no tears, split seams or graffiti. It has only slight signs of shelf wear which is far less than you would expect due to it's age.
SLEEVE IS GRADED AS EXCELLENT CONDITION
Grading Records and Sleeves that are up to 40 years old can be somewhat subjective. Visual Grading is useless and terms such as 'surface gloss' or 'looks unplayed' etc. give no indication to the actual sound of the record. I 'Visually' and more importantly 'Play' grade my records listening to the: Dynamic Contrast, Soundstage Clarity, Bass Response, Stage Depth, Instrumentation Definition and a sense of Musical Ease, and base my Grade on this. The Records are cleaned using the best system available which gives a reduction in LP noise floor resulting in improved clarity and instrumental definition. After Cleaning and Play Grading, the Records are put into a Spin Care 'Anti-Static' Sleeve and will be shipped in that sleeve. This Album truly captures the very best Sound Recording Technology available in the mid 70's.
I sell to the Trade, other Collectors and mostly to people who are re-building their Vinyl collection. Please read my Feedback from my customers and buy with confidence.
PLEASE NOTE:
No Overseas buyers please, just UK Bidders only please.
