Description

CONDITION:
Cover:
Cover is in EXCELLENT condition. As you can see from the photo's the spine is still intact and legible. There are no tears or seam splits and no one has written their name on the cover!
Labels:
As close to Mint as you'll likely ever get.
I have included macro photos of the labels as well as the inner spindle area. As you can see there are no marks on the labels at all. Both side 1 and 2 have NO SPINDLE marks at all. See close up photo's of spindle area. (I can send the actual photos if the ones above aren't clear enough).
Vinyl:
Please note I have play graded this LP. I have graded conservatively. It's important for me as a seller that I provide as much detail as possible.
Visual Grade:
Overall this LP is in EXCELLENT condition for both Sides 1 and 2.
In very bright sunlight you can see some faint marks. None of these are deep and can only be seen in very bright light (This is why I graded this lp in bright sunlight. Otherwise these would not have been visible).
Play Grade:
Overall I would give this LP a play grade of Excellent. None of the faint lines mentioned above were audible. However, I did hear some ticks and crackling on the lead in for both sides. There was some faint noise between tracks as well.
I did hear some faint noise during some of the music and I think I good clean can most likely remove these. The tracks I heard the noise in, during the quieter moments, were 'Thank You', 'What Is...' and "Lemon Song'.
Since I didn't see any deep marks I am assuming a good deep clean will work. Although in my opinion the noise was not too distracting and it did not take away from the power of the music at all. I really listened out for it as I wanted to play grade this properly.
Apart from the above there are a couple of other points I would like to mention:
- 'What Is and What Should Never Be' - I heard one loud tick. I didn't see any marks on the vinyl so I think a good deep clean will remove this but of course I cannot be sure.
- 'Lemon Song' - about 3/4 of the way in a heard a loud tick and then nearer the end I heard another one. Again there were no marks that I could see.
POSTAGE:
I am going to pack this LP properly. I won't be using the usual light weight LP mailers.
