Both surfaces are pristine and totally unmarked when viewed in strong daylight & display just a few barely visible wispy inner-sleeve paper hairlines directly under halogen. There are no scuffs, marks or scratches anywhere on this disc. Both sides lie 100% flat on the turntable with no signs of dishing or warping.
Play: MINT
This perfect 'as new' disc is possibly unplayed and sounds immaculate from start to finish. There are absolutely no traces of audible wear or faults anywhere. This is as good as it gets.
Cover
EXCELLENT +
A wonderful clean & strong example with an undamaged high-gloss front bearing just a few minor wrinkles but no other creasing or wear. There is slight bruising to the lower corners but there really is little to fault here. The rear panel is perfectly clean and bright with no writing or missing paper and all flipbacks, seams & the spine are all unsplit, unstressed and undamaged.
Inner-sleeve
EXCELLENT
Minor storagewear & the album's title written on one corner but no splits or other faults
- Strict & grading under strong daylight & directly beneath a halogen desk lamp to UK 'RECORD COLLECTOR' standards.
- I carefully play every record I sell on a $5,000 Rega P9 turntable at volume and list all visual and audible faults.
- Unless stated, all records lie 100% flat & play without distortion, jumps or sticks. All sleeves/covers have no writing, splits or tears.
- All the photos in this listing have been taken by myself and are of the actual items for sale.
- All records are professionally & securely in custom-made record mailing boxes with the disc removed from the cover. All text & images © Bright Field Music 2008
