CONDITION
All Labels: EXCELLENT
Apart from a faint scratch to the side 1 label, all are clean and unmarked with just some light spindle trails.
Both Discs Visual: EXCELLENT
A clean and well looked-after set which bears just a few light surface marks in daylight. However, these are mostly as a result or inner-sleeve removal and close inspection directly under halogen light reveals no further significant or major signs or wear.
Both Discs Audio: EXCELLENT
Both discs have received frequent but careful play and there is no major deterioration to the sound quality overall. There are no clicks, pops, jumps or repeats or any other major audible faults.
Cover: EXCELLENT
A fine, strong 'thick' card example which retains a high-gloss, undamaged laminate all-round. Both front & rear panels have no creasing or bending and apart from some minor toning down the spine, the cover is clean and unmarked. All corners are perfectly square and unbumped and all of the top-opening edges are clean and sharp with no tears or 'feathering'. The inside is pristine & 'as new' and has clearly not been opened in many years (I have not attempted to open it fully). The spine's laminate has split but all the text is clear & undamaged.
Inners: EXCELLENT
Light storagewear creasing but no splits or tears anywhere.
Poster: EXCELLENT
Photos: MINT
- Strict grading under strong daylight & halogen light based upon UK 'RECORD COLLECTOR' standards.
- I play every record I sell at volume and list all visual and audible faults.
- Unless stated, all records lie 100% flat & play without distortion, jumps or sticks & all sleeves 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 tightly in strong custom made record boxes with the disc removed from the cover.
