CONDITION
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT +
A clean & unblemished set with no more than two or three tiny, well aimed spindle marks around each unworn cente hole.
Visual: EXCELLENT
Both playing surface are clean & glossy with some light paper/stylus hairlines directly beneath halogen light, but no significant surface marks or scratches.
Sound Quality: EXCELLENT
Always a great sounding EP, this well looked-after copy is no exception. Carefully played on good equipment, all tracks sound clean & unworn with a touch of background on the run-ins and between tracks, but no clicks, pops or any other such distractions.
Cover: EXCELLENT +
An exceptionally clean & unworn example which retains a high-gloss front laminate free from any 'thumbnails' or creasing, just a light, unavoidable inner ring mark from storage. The only significant sign of wear is a small bump to the upper right corner, but all others and both opening edge are completely unworn. The exposed rear panel is pristine and unblemsihed.
