CONDITION
Disc
Labels: MINT
No spindle trails or any marks whatsoever.
Visual: NEAR MINT
Certainly played only a few times, the surfaces appear bright, glossy and 'as new'.
There is just a feint paper scuff visible on side 2 but there are no other visible marks even under a halogen desk lamp.
The disc is pressed on very thick, heavy, quality vinyl which lies totally 100% flat on the turntable without dishing or warping.
Audio: NEAR MINT
Although I would rightly hesitate to grade anything played as 'MINT', this copy is the closest thing to it.
Having played the entire LP at volume I can report that the whole LP sounds completely 'as new' and has no audible wear whatsoever.
Both run-ins and all bands play completely silently with no crackle, clicks or pops and all the music is free from any distortion or other audible faults.
If you are looking for a perfect sounding copy - this is it.
Cover: NEAR MINT
Much harder to find with the large 'stereo' logo than its 'E.J. Day' counterpart, this example really does look like it has just left the shop.
The front panel bears retains an unscratched laminate bearing just two tiny spine wrinkles and a 0.5cm one on George's arm but noother wear.
The right corners bear a light bruise but the others are clean, sharp and unworn. The opening edges are also in great shape with no tears or 'feathering'.
The rear panel is pristine clean and white with no discolouration, marks or writing.
All 'flipbacks' are in perfect condition, as are the seams and spine with no missing laminate or paper.
Very hard to find a better example of this rare cover.
Strict visual & audible gradings under intense direct light & at volume on high-end audio equipment
