CONDITION
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT +
Clean, bright & unfaded with just a small handful of light spindle trails to each centre hole.
Visual: EXCELLENT
Both playing surfaces are extremely clean & bright and retain all of their 'as new' deep-gloss shine. Careful inspection in strong daylight shows up two 2mm scratches on track 1 on side 2, but no other significant marks or wear. Closer inspection directly beneath halogen light reveals little more than a few barely visible wispy paper hairlines & a sparkling rainbow shine.
Play: EXCELLENT
This copy has been barely played and as a result every track plays perfectly cleanly & clearly and my careful play check found there to be no traces of any groove/play wear. The aformentioned scratches produce approximately 10 light clicks at the beginning of 'Gallows Pole' & a few softer ones on the fade-out. However, these are the only audible blemishes on thus top sounding unworn copy LP.
Cover
EXCELLENT
A very strong and fully intact with an undamaged and working rotating wheel. There is a little storage wear to the corners and a few faint age-related spots to the front panel but no other significant or major faults inside or out. All seams are smooth & unstressed and the spine is fully worded.
Inner-sleeve:
EXCELLENT -
Minor storagewear and the disc's catalogue number written in the upper left corner, but no splits to any seam.
