Description
Harsh Reality - Heaven and Hell - Philips SBL 7891
Vinyl: Glossy and fresh looking disc that appears to have been played very little
Side 1: VG+ bright, clean surface, a few light marks, some light clicks or pops here and there - nothing at all heavy or too distracting. And there is light background crackle during the quiet passages. Plays very well overall, but a good clean is recommended.
Side 2: VG+ bright, clean surface, a few light marks, even fewer - maybe just a couple of light clicks - nothing at all heavy or too distracting. And there is light background crackle during the quiet passages. Plays very well overall, but a good clean is recommended.
Labels:
side 1: bright and clear - can only see a two or three light to very-light trails
side 2: bright and clear - can only see one or possibly two very light trails.
Outer sleeve: VG+ - bright, clear and glossy; light wear to corners, a few small edge creases in laminate. Minuscule thumbing to opening edge, and modest disc impression or ring wear to glossy surface. All spine lettering very clear.
Inner sleeve: original inner sleeve is age-toned , but shows light signs of handling.
Over the next few months I will be auctioning off my late father's record collection, which, among other genres, consist mostly of classical music. All records are from quality labels, such as Decca, HMV, Columbia, Deutch Grammophone, etc. and are mostly in excellent condition.
I do not clean or play the records, though I do use a truth-revealing bright light to reveal any likely-looking audible flaws. If any are found, a description is provided after a test-play of the relevant side. I will also test-play records on request if required. If on visual inspection no likely-looking audible flaws are found, the side generally very clear, glossy and at least little used in appearance, I will grade that side as EX or NM. However, with such grades, please bear in mind there may still be a few noticeable isolated 'ticks' or 'pops' here and there, and/or occasional mild surface noise. Although these records appear clean, I advise the purchaser to give their purchases a good clean. For test-playing, a Pioneer PL-L1000 turntable fitted with a Denon DL-160 cartridge is used.
Packaging: records wrapped and sent within thick, sturdy double-walled card arranged at cross-grain to one another for maximum rigidity - I will never use those flimsy mailers made out of thin card. Corners of package will also be rigid and well clear of corners of outer sleeve.
