CONDITION
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT
A clean & vibrant pair with just a small collection of spindle trails around each centre hole.
Visual: EXCELLENT
Outstanding deep-gloss playing surfaces, undulled by improper storage or overplay. The only marks visible in strong daylight are three very light surface marks but there are absolutely no scratches or any other visible surface wear. Close examination directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp reveals just a sparkling rainbow gloss and a few harmless stylus hairlines, but there really is very little to fault here.
Play: EXCELLENT +
This great sounding copy has recieved just a few extremely careful plays on top equipment and my careful playcheck at volume found no evidence whatsoever of any groove/play wear or background noise. Everything plays with pristine clarity as only these 1960's Decca recordings/ pressings can and without any clicks, pops or any other such distraction. The audio reproduction will not disappoint.
Cover
VERY GOOD -
This fully intact example has moderate handling & storagewear but is without major faults. The front panel laminate has a number of light wrinkles from handling and some wear to the opening edges but no tears. The rear panel has general handling wear and some discolouration but is free from any writing or missing paper. Both seams and the spine are unstressed, unsplit and undamaged.
Inner-sleeve
VERY GOOD
