RATING
Vinyl Rating: VG+ This record comes from an audiophile's private collection and has been taken very good care of.Vinyl has some superficial scratches on both sides. Labels are NM, with beautifully preserved colours and virtually no wear around the centre hole. A-side label has a small sticker with the initials of the previous owner on it.
Sound Rating: EXC Because of the high mastering output and heavy weight vinyl, scratches are virtually inaudible throughout the whole record. Just a few minor ticks in total. Very little background noise - practically no noise in between tracks. No audible distortion of the instruments. Overall, the record sounds as heavenly as it can get!
Cover Rating: VG+ The front photo is very well preserved, with the beautiful, vibrant colours left intact. The back has a few small notes written on. Cover lamination is fully intact. Both sides display absolutely no ringwear. Cover has a seam split of about 4 inches on the bottom side and some slight creasing.
