Condition

Labels: NEAR MINT

Just a single tiny spindle trail to each centre hole.

Visual: MINT

Pristine, unblemished surfaces which are totally unmarked and 'as new both in strong daylight AND directly beneath halogen light, with no visible marks or wear.

Play: NEAR MINT

This beautiful warm & clear sounding copy has been played just ONCE by its previous original owner and I can confirm that all tracks play and sound 'as new' with no traces of groovewear or background noise to any part.

Cover

EXCELLENT

A clean and firm example downgraded slightly dueonly to some faint age-spots/foxing in the paper but certainly no other significant signs of wear or any major faults. All corners are sharp and square and both opening edges apear untouched. The rear panel is clean with no writing or missing paper. All flipbacks, seams and the spine are fully intact and undamaged.

Inner-sleeve

EXCELLENT +

Crisp & flat with just a few minor age-spots but no splits, tears or writing.


  • Strict & grading under strong daylight & directly beneath a halogen desk lamp to UK 'RECORD COLLECTOR' standards.
  • I carefully play every record I sell on a $5,000 Rega P9 turntable at volume and list all visual and audible faults.
  • Unless stated, all records lie 100% flat & play without distortion, jumps or sticks. All sleeves/covers have no writing, splits or tears.
  • All the photos in this listing have been taken by myself and are of the actual items for sale.
  • All records are professionally & securely in custom-made record mailing boxes with the disc removed from the cover.
