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: NEAR MINT
This barely played copy sounds completely 'as new' throughout with absolutely no trace of any audible wear or faults anywhere. You will not find better.
Cover
EXCELLENT +
An immaculate example with an unscratched high-gloss front bearing just a few minor spine wrinkles but no other signs of wear. There is slight bruising to two corners but the rear panel is perfectly clean and bright with no marks, writing or missing paper. All flipbacks, seams & the spine are all unsplit, unstressed and undamaged.
Inner-sleeve
EXCELLENT +
Clean & flat with no significant faults or wear.
- 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
