Condition:
Vinyl: EXCELLENT
Visually the vinyl is glossy and clean. Only a handful of light surface marks can be picked up in bright light. The labels are bright and clean. EXCELLENT. The audio is superb, quiet lead-ins to both sides and in between tracks. There are no obtrusive pops, skips or jumps. EXCELLENT.
Sleeve: EXCELLENT
The sleeve looks great. The front retains a glossy finish with bright colours. There are a couple of very small laminate ripples. The rear is remarkably clean. There is no ring wear, fully readable spine without wear, top and bottom edge without wear, and corners with very mild wear.
Inner Sleeve: EXCELLENT
The original polythene lined die-cut inner sleeve looks great. It is very clean, has minimal discolouration and shows only minor creasing. Also included in the sale is an audiophile quality, anti-static inner sleeve to help protect and preserve the fantastic record.
This record will be sent via an insured courier in a padded vinyl mailer.
