CONDITION
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT +
A clean & unblemished pair with a small number of spindle marks to each unworn centre hole.
Visual: EXCELLENT +
Both playing surfaces are extremely clean & glossy with no surface marks apparent when viewed in strong daylight. Close examination directly beneath my unforgiving halogen desk lamp reveals just a small number of harmless wispy paper hairlines but no significant marks or wear at all.
Play: EXCELLENT +
This top sounding copy has received just some careful play on good quality equipment, My careful play-check at volume found no evidence of any groove/play wear distortion on any track or in either channel. In fact, apart from a hint of light/normal vinyl background on the quieter passages and between tracks, there is very little to fault soundwise.
Cover
EXCELLENT +
A strong & vibrant example which retains an immaculate high-gloss laminate with no creasing or any 'thumbnails' to the front panel. There are tiny shelfwear bruises to the left corners but no wear at all to the others or on either opening edge. The rear panel is just as fine but has a few tiny wrinkles towards thew spine area. Both seams and the fully worded spine are smooth, unstressed & undamaged.
Inner-sleeve
EXCELLENT
Clean & flat with the only significant blemish being the original owner's name and date of purchase ('10 Feb 1970') written neatly on one side. However, there are no tears or splits to any seam.
