CONDITION
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT
A clean & unblemished pair with some light spindle trails around each centre hole (mostly on side 1), but no wear to either hole.
Visual: EXCELLENT
Both playing surfaces are extremely clean and retain all of their 'as new' deep-gloss shine and apart from a single 5mm hairline on track 4 of side 1, both playing surfaces are unmarked in strong daylight. Closer inspection directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp reveals just some harmless wispy paper hairlines but no further blemishes or wear. Both sides of this well looked-after disc lie 100% flat on the turntable when playing.
Sound Quality: VERY GOOD +
This copy has received a moderate amount of careful play but is without any significant deterioration to the sound or any major faults. My single careful play-check at volume detected a touch of light background crackle during 'Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You', but the aforementioned mark on track 4 is inaudible and there are no further signs of wear on this side. Side 2 opens with some background crackle on the introduction to 'You're Time is Gonna Come' but is without any further noticeable audible wear on that side.
Cover: VERY GOOD +
A respectable example with light handling & storagewear and no major faults. The front panel is clean with some light storage rubbing to the high-gloss laminate & a single 'thumbnail' wrinkle towards the opening edge. The corners are all unbumped and both of the opening edges are sharp and unworn. There are a handful of small spine wrinkles visible on the otherwise clean & unmarked rear panel.
There is a little laminate lift along the spine towards the upper right corner but spine itself is fully covered & worded.
Inner-sleeve: VERY GOOD +
Flat and unworn with a light disc impression & lower-edge toning, but no writing, seam splits or tears.
