Condition
Labels: EXCELLENT
A super clean & bright set with just some light spindle trails but no writing, marks or missing paper to either.
Visual: VERY GOOD
Both surface are bright & glossy, displaying a few light marks & an occaisional light stylus scratch in strong daylight, but nothing deep or serious. Some wispy paper hairlines are visible directly under halogen light but no further significant marks or wear. Both sides lie 100% flat on the turntable with no dishing or warping.
Audio: VERY GOOD -
This copy has been played many times and some moderate background is present throughout both songs. However, there are no clicks, pops, jump or repeats to either side.
Cover: VERY GOOD -
Some age-toing to the paper and two words written on one side.
- Strict & grading under strong daylight & directly beneath a halogen desk lamp to UK 'RECORD COLLECTOR' standards.
- I carefully play every record I sell on a $5,000 Rega P9 turntable at volume and list all visual and audible faults.
- Unless stated, all records lie 100% flat & play without distortion, jumps or sticks. All sleeves/covers have no writing, splits or tears.
- 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. All text & images © Bright Field Music 2008
