Condition
Labels: 1. EXCELLENT 2. EXCELLENT -
Clean & bright with just a hairline scratch on label 2 and a few small & light spindle trails around each centre-hole.
Visual: EXCELLENT +
Both surfaces are pristine and totally unmarked in strong daylight and display literally just one or two faint/wispy paper hairlines directly beneath halogen light. Apart from a tiny, 2mm scratch at the end of the final track on side 2, there are no further marks or wear anywhere on this impressive, well looked-after copy.
Play: EXCELLENT +
This copy has received just some careful play on excellent-quality equipment and all tracks play cleanly & clearly throughout with no traces of any background noise or groovewear distortion. 'She's Leaving Home' plays perfectly without any playwear or breakup. Apart from a two revolution click on the final piano fade-out, there are no further audible faults of any description on this outstanding copy.
Cover
EXCELLENT -
A vivid & vibrant example which retains is high-gloss all-round laminate with no 'thumbnails' on the front panel. There is slight bruising to the corners but all opening edges are clean, sharp & undamaged. The rear panel is as clean & glossy as the front, displying just a few small spine wrinkles but no other significant signs of wear. The inside is immaculate with no missing paper to the flipbacks. The spine has some slight wear to the laminate but it is still mostly covered and is readable. All seams are strong, unstressed and unsplit.
Cut-out sheet: MINT
- Strict & grading under strong daylight & halogen light based upon UK 'RECORD COLLECTOR' standards.
- I play every record I sell at volume on high-end audio equipment 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.
- The listing photos have been taken by myself and are of the actual items for sale.
- All records are packed strongly & securely in custom-made record mailing boxes with the disc removed from the cover. All text & images © Bright Field Music 2008
