CONDITION
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT
A clean & vibrant set with just a touch of wear to each centre hole but no other significant wear.
Visual: EXCELLENT -
Clean & glossy playing surfaces where the only significant blemish visible in strong daylight is a 2cm non-feelable fingernail scuff but no scratches or any other wear. Closer examination directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp reveals some wispy iner-sleeve removal hairlines but no addition marks or blemishes. Both sides of this well preserved copy lie 100% flat on the turntable when playing.
Play: EXCELLENT
This great sounding copy has received just minimal, careful play on excellent equipment and my careful play-check found no evidence of any groove/playwear or interference anywhere. In fact, apart from an single click on 'No Reply' and some normal light background on the band in-between tracks, there is little else to fault overall.
Cover: VERY GOOD
Always a tough one to find in good shape. This example is a little tired but still presentable. There is general storagwear to the corners and lower edge of the front leaf but but no unwanted marks or blemishes inside the gatefold. The darker rear panel is clean with just some minor storage rubbing to the laminate. It's only significant fault is a tiny 1cm stress t he seam, otherwise it's in respectable shape.
Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT
Crisp & flat with s little age-toning towards the edges but no writing, tears or seam splits.
