CONDITION
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT
A clean and unworn set with just a small number of light spindle trails around each centre hole.
Visual: EXCELLENT +
Pristine, deep-gloss playing surfaces which are totally unworn and unmarked in strong daylight with just a handful of barely paper scuffs consistent with the few times this disc has been removed from its inner-sleeve visible directly beneath halogen light. Both sides of this heavy, high-quality disc lie 100% flat on the turntable when playing.
Sound Quality: EXCELLENT +
This copy has received a minimal amount of careful play on top-quality equipment and the sound throughout is rich, clean & warm with no trace of any groove/play wear distortion anywhere. In fact, apart from a hint of light background on 'Michelle', there is nothing further to fault. There are certainly no clicks, pops, ticks or any other audible distraction to spoil the delicate beauty of this album.
Cover: VERY GOOD +
A strong and fully intact example with a deep and richly coloured front panel and retains an unscratched, high-gloss front laminate free from any 'thumbnails' or any other creasing. All corners are sharp and unbumped and there is just a touch of wear to the rear opening edges only.
The exposed rear panel has some moderate age-toning and some aged fingermarks but no writing or missing paper.
All flipbacks are fully intact and both seams & spine are smooth, unstressed and unworn.
Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT -
Crisp & flat with some age-toning and a few gentle storage wrinkles but no tears, writing or seam splits.
