Disc


Labels: EXCELLENT PLUS

Just a few light spindle trails near the hole on both sides.

Visual: EXCELLENT

Both surfaces are extremely clean & glossy with no signs of any groove-whitening or dulling to the surfaces from incorrect long-term storage.
Viewed in strong daylight, side 1 bears just a single 2cms scratch on track 2 but no further significant marks here or on side 2.
Close & careful inspection directly under a halogen desk lamp reveals some light inner-sleeve removal lines but no further wear.
Both sides lie 100% flat on the turntable with no dishing or warping.

Audio: EXCELLENT PLUS

Rarely and carefully played, all tracks on side 1 play without background noise, crackle or groovewear distortion.
The orchestral side plays with just an occaisional very faint/soft tick but no background crackle, hiss or other significant wear.
Both run-ins and all bands play without intereference & there are no heavy clicks, jumps, repeats or other major audible faults anywhere.


Cover: VERY GOOD PLUS

The front panel is clean and unscratched with just a few edge wrinkles and small crease towards the upper right corner.
Some minor shelfwear to the corners is visible but there are no heavy bumps or major damage.
The lower part of the opening edge has a slight ripple but both are clean with no tears or feathering.
The rear panel displays some minor handling/storagewear but no major marks, writing or missing paper.
There is a 2cm stress line on the lower seam but this has not split through.
The 'gold' sticker is intact despite some loosening around two edges.
All flipbacks and the spine are intact & undamaged.
