CONDITION
Disc
Labels: VERY GOOD +
A bright & clean set with numerous spindle marks and slight wear to/around the centre holes.
Visual: VERY GOOD
Both playing surfaces are clean & bright but display several noticeable surface marks and the occasional light hairline scratch consistent with a frequent amount of play. However, none of these blemishes are deep or feelable and both sides lie 100% flat on the turntable with no dishing or warping.
Play: GOOD
It is clear that this copy has been played many times. However, it has not been abused and apart from some light background associated with such frequent play, my careful play-check at volume sound no oher significant or any major audible faults. There are no heavy clicks, pops or any other such distractions and certainly no jumps or repeats anywhere.
Cover
VERY GOOD +
A respectable example of this cover which has remained strong and clean throughout. The high-gloss front panel displays a few light wrinkles and a touch of storagewear rubbing but no heavy creasing or wear. The corners are all sharp & unbumped and there are no tears or feathering to either opening edge. The rear panel is clean & black where it should be with no significant wear to any part and completely free from any writing or missing paper. All flipbacks are clean & fully intact with just a smal scratch to the upper one. Both seams are smooth, unstressed & unsplit and the spine is fully worded and unworn.
Inner-sleeve
EXCELLENT
Clean & white with a few light storage bends but no writing, tears or seam splits.
