CONDITION
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT +
A superb set with just a small handful of extremely faint spindle trails around each unworn centre hole.
Visual: EXCELLENT +
Pristine, deep-gloss and unworn which are free from any surface marks or scratches in strong daylight. In fact, apart from a few faint paper scuffs consistent with inner-sleeve removal, there is little to fault visually on this very well looked-after copy in any light.
Sound Quality: EXCELLENT +
This superb warm, clean & unworn sounding copy has received a minimal amount of extremely careful play on quality equipment and my single careful play-check at volume detected no trace of any groove/playwear distortion on any track or in either channel. In fact, aside from a hint of normal/low-level vinyl background between tracks, this really is as good as this album can sound.
Cover: EXCELLENT
A highly respectable example of this iconic cover which has been carefully stored this past 45 years in a clean, non-smoking environment. The front panel is clean & glossy, with just a touch of storagewear along with a handful of small 'thumbnail' wrinkles towards the front opening edge. All corners are in excellent shape and there is no damage or wear to either opening edge. The exposed, easily blemished rear panel is clean & white with no blemishes or wear to be seen.
All flipbacks are perfectly clean & fully intact and both seams sand the spine are smooth, unstressed and completely unworn.
Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT
Uncreased and unworn and not graded higher only due to some age-discoloration to the paper. There are no tears or splits to any seam.
