CONDITION
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT +
An immaculate pair with just a few light trails around each completely unworn centre hole
Visual: EXCELLENT +
Pristine, factory-fresh deep-gloss playing surfaces which apart from a single faint hairline on side 1 are unmarked in strong daylight. Even close examination directly my powerful halogen desk lamp reveal little more than a few harmless wispy paper hairlines and a sparkling rainbow shine
Sound Quality: EXCELLENT +
This great sounding album has clearly been barely played and sounds superb throughout. The only audible distraction which caught my ear during my play-check were are one or two faint ticks at the end of 'Dear Eloise'. Apart from this and a touch of low-level vinyl background between tracks, there is precious little to fault and on this well looked-after copy which will not disappoint
Cover: EXCELLENT +
An exceptionally clean & unworn example which retains a sparkling, unscratched high-gloss front panel bearing with just a few tiny wrinkles along the upper edge, but no 'thumbnails' or even any spine bends
The rear panel is very clean with just a few faint marks from storage but no writing or missing paper
All flipbacks are clean & fully intact and both seams and the spine are smooth, unstressed & unworn
Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT +
