CONDITION
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT
Both are vibrant & unworn but downgraded from 'EX+' due to a name & address stamp on each label.
Visual: VERY GOOD +
Both playing surfaces are clean and glossy with just a small handful of light scuffs and hairlines in strong daylight suggesting this copy has been played, but in no way mistreated. Closer examination directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp does little more than highlight these minor blemishes & adds no further significant wear.
Sound Quality: EXCELLENT
This fine sounding copy has received a moderate amount of careful play and the sound quality is extremely high and easily comparable with the UK pressing. My single careful play-check at volume detected no significant deterioration to the sound quality or any noticeable audible distractions throughout.
Cover: VERY GOOD +
A respectable example of this uniquely designed cover. The front panel is clean with some moderate storagewear and single large 'thumbnail' wrinkle towards the front opening edges being the only significant blemish. There is slight wear to the corner tips but no heavy bumps or bruising. There is a little wear to the front opening edge and a 1.5cm tear to the rear one, however the languettte and both flipbacks remain in-place.
Both seams are unstressed & unsplit and the spine is fully worded.
