CONDITION
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT +
Both are clean & bright with just a small number of well-aimed spindle trails around each unworn centre hole.
Visual: EXCELLENT +
Extremely clean & bright playing surfaces which retain all of their 'as new' deep-gloss shine and are free from any surface marks or wear in strong daylight. Close and careful examination directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp reveals nothing more than a small number of harmless wispy paper hairlines consistent with inner-sleeve removal but no other surface marks or wear.
Play: EXCELLENT +
A top-sounding copy which presented not a trace of any audible wear during my single play-check at volume. Every track is free form any form of groove/play wear and also from any clicks, ticks, pops or other such audible blemishes to distract from pure powerful British Blues Rock at its best.
Cover: GOOD
As you can see, some general moderate storagewear is present but the front panel is clean & unblemished. There is minor corner rubbing and a few small 'pushes' to the opening edges but no major damage there. The rear panel bears some handling marks and a disc impression from storage but is free from any writing or missing paper. There is a 5cm upper seam split and some discolouration to the spine but no further major faults.
Inner-sleeve: VERY GOOD
General handling & storagewear but no writing, seam splits or tears.
**PLEASE NOTE: This item is located in and will be shipped from AUSTRIA. Priority signed for airmail postage to UK addresses will be 7 GBP**
