CONDITION
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT
Both are clean with some well-aimed spindle trails but no writing or missing paper.
Visual: GOOD
Both playing surfaces are clean but worn with numerous hairline scratches together with a few heavier marks, but nothing which I can feel beneath my fingertips. Both sides lie 100% flat on the turntable whe playing.
Sound Quality: GOOD
This disc has clearly been played many times and some low-level background is audible, mostly in the quieter passages & between tracks. There are some light clicks and my stylus stuck on 'I'll Get You', however this fault may not be present itself on all turntables. Side 2 plays better and is without any significant or major faults.
Cover: VERY GOOD -
A respectable, fully intact example of this rare cover which retains a clean & glossy front panel with some fading towards the left edge and creasing towards the opening edge. There is moderate wear to all corners and some 'feathering' & a 1cm tear to the front opening edge itself. The rear panel has some storage marking but is otherwise free from any writing or missing paper. All flibacks are fully intact and both seams and the unworded spine are unstressed & unsplit. No original inner-sleeve is present.
