Condition
Labels: EXCELLENT
A vibrant, clean and bright set with just a faint, partially erased 3 figure number in the centre of the side 1 label.
Visual: EXCELLENT +
A superb clean & glossy example with pristine surfaces which are totally unmarked in strong daylight. Careful inspection directly under halogen light reveals a few wispy paper hairlines but no scuffs, marks or scratches to either side. Both lie 100% flat on the turntable with no dishing or warping.
Audio: EXCELLENT
This sparkling copy has received only a few very careful plays and my careful play-check at volume revealed no significant or major audible faults. Apart from a hint of light background in the breaks, both sides play cleanly & cleanly with a full & rich bass and crisp & undistorted highs. There are no clicks, jumps, repeats or other significant or major faults.
Cover: EXCELLENT
Clean and bright with no writing, tears or splits.
- 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. All text & images © Bright Field Music 2008
