CONDITION
Labels: 1. NEAR MINT 2. MINT
A superb pair with just a single spindle trail to the side 1 centre hole only but none on 2.
Visual: NEAR MINT
Immaculate & unworn deep-gloss surfaces with no visible faults or wear in strong daylight and only a sparkling rainbow shines and a few barely visible wispy appaer hairlines directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp.
Play: EXCELLENT +
This copy has been hardly, if ever been played and my careful playcheck uncovered no traces of any groove/playwear to any track. Aside from a touch of inevitable light background during 'Michelle', there is little else to fault here.
Cover
EXCELLENT +
A superb exmaple with a bright, clean high-gloss front laminate which bears just the unavoidable light inner ring impression but no 'thumbnails' wrinkles. There is slight bruising to the corners and a light bend to the lower right corner (visible on the rear panel) but both opening edges are unworn. The rear panel is otherwise super clean with no marks, writing or missing paper.
- Strict & grading under strong daylight & directly beneath a halogen desk lamp to UK 'RECORD COLLECTOR' standards.
- I carefully play every record I sell on an EMT 950 turntable at volume and list all visual and audible faults.
- 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.
