Visual: MINT
A perfect copy - both surfaces are totally unmarked and in pristine 'as new' condition both in daylight AND directly under halogen light, with no surface marks or scratches whatsoever.
Play: NEAR MINT
This superb copy has been played just ONCE by its original audiophile owner on a Garrard 401 deck from new, with a Shure M75E cartridge on an SME arm. It plays & sounds 'as new' throughout with no traces of groovewear, background noise, clicks, pops or indeed any audible wear whatsoever.
Cover
EXCELLENT
An extremely strong and clean example which apart from a hint of storagewear, is completely undamaged and bears but no significant or major signs of wear inside or out.
Inner-sleeve:
NEAR 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 maling boxes with the disc removed from the cover. All text & images © Bright Field Music 2008
