Rare in this condition. It has hardly been played!!!!
All items included are the genuine originals:
2 x 12" Vinyl - Grey on white labels on all 4 sides.
Hardback hessian clothbound outer cover.
Original ribbon tying the gatefold wallet to the hardback outer cover.
Inner gatefold wallet of heavyweight cardboard to hold the inner sleeves. Contains track listing. On the outer back, contains all credits, including Graffica Industria, Printed by Garrod & Lofthouse, FACT 40 A Factory Records Product.
2 x grey die-cut inner sleeves, made from heavyweight cardboard. Rounded top internal corner near the spine side of wallet.
I'm no expert, but have been as critical as possible based what I would want to know I if purchasing. All graded below.
Seeing as it can be a contentious issue, I do not clean the vinyl other than using an anti-static brush.
Vinyl/Visually - Near Mint - Under normal light these are fantastic looking. Even under strong light, the slight surface marks you tend to see attributed to movement within the sleeve, are very few and far between.
Vinyl/Playback - Near Mint - After playing each side 3 times on my Rega Planar 2, I would say it is jump/click-free with virtually no back ground noise. It is close to perfect. Very crisp and clean sound, even in the quieter section of playback.
Labels - Near Mint - All 4 are still crisp and clear. Probably being picky here but there are 3 very small 2mm creases out from the spindle on side 2. Absolutely immaculate otherwise.
Outer Cover Sleeve - Near Mint - In perfect condition. No signs of frayed edges or discolouring at all on the outside. The white backing on the inside very clean and again no signs of wear at all. if I was being picky, under very strong light I can see a feint line of about 2cm at around 1 o'clock on the front.
Ribbon - Very Good - Never been undone. Still clean, but small signs of fraying at the edge at the top edge.
Gatefold Wallet - Excellent - No splits. Colour still strong and clean. Some signs of fading/miscolouring around the edges. No signs of wear at all: Not even around the spine.
Inner Sleeve - Excellent - No splits. Colour still strong and clean. Some signs of fading/miscolouring around the edges. Poly-inner will be provided for shipment.
