SEE ALL MY PICS - THIS IS WHAT YOU ARE BUYING!
SLEEVE - THICK CARD . GREAT PICS TO THE FRONT AND REAR. LAMINATED FRONT WITH FLIPBACKS TO REAR, REAR UNLAMINATED 'WHITE' FINISH. SLEEVE IS IN REASONABLE OVERALL CONDITION BUT DISPLAYS SIGNS OF WEAR AND AGEING. THERE IS A SELOTAPE REPAIR INSTALLED INSIDE THE SLEEVE TO A 2 1/2" long tear close to the right hand top corner from the opening edge, see pic. MINOR CREASING AND RINGWEAR TO FRONT. REAR IS GRUBBY AND MINOR RINGWEAR. SOME FEATHERING TO THE OPENING EDGE. NO WRITING. SLEEVE REALLY NOT TOO BAD AND OVERALL I GRADE IT AS A STRONG VG+
VINYL - A LOVELY THICK SLAB OF VINYL! THE DISC PLAYS AND SOUNDS GREAT DESPITE IT BEING SOME WAYS FROM BEING A MINT COPY! THE DISC HAS BEEN WELL PLAYED AND THERE ARE A NUMBER OF GENERALLY FINE SCRATCHES AND MARKS TO EACH SIDE BUT NAP ON MY PLAYER TO ANY DEGREE JUST A BIT OF HISS OR CRACKLE AT VERY WORST IN THE ODD PLACE (NOTHING SERIOUS) PLUS A MORE CONSPICUOUS AND JUST ABOUT FEELABLE 1" LONG GROOVE LINE SCRATCH AT THE VERY END OF THE LAST TRACK ON SIDE 2 BUT THIS ALSO PLAYS THROUGH FINE WITH SOME CRACKLE AT THE VERY END BEFORE THE STYLUS GOES TO 'RUN-OFF'. NO JUMPS OR SKIPS - THESE OLD MONO RECORDS PLAYS ABSOL. GREAT DESPITE SHOWING WEAR COS THE VINYL IS THICK AND THE GROOVES ARE DEEP (MONO SOUND COMES OUT THE BOTTOM OF THE GROOVE UNLIKE STEREO RECORDS WHERE THE SOUND COMES OUT THE SIDES OF THE GROOVE!!). THE DISC IS OK AND GRADES AS A STRONG VG TO VG+
LABELS - LABELS ARE BRIGHT AND CLEAN. NO TEARS OR WRITING. THERE ARE SOME LIGHT SPINDLE MARKS PRESENT.
- DISC IS HOUSED IN ORIGINAL 'EMITEX' PAPER SLEEVE
