Record

Labels: EXCELLENT

A bright, bold set but with a name written on both in ball-point pen.

Visual: VERY GOOD +
Very clean and glossy surfaces and in no way dulled by overplay or groove-whitening. The disc's only significant mark is a moderate fingernail scuff on side 1. The only other marks are an occaisional fine stylus hairline and some wispy paper hairlines, both of which are only clearly visible directly under halogen light.

Play: VERY GOOD +
Strong powerful sound with just a touch of light intermittant light background on the opening tracks on each side but overall there is very little lessening to the sound quality. Apart from a few light ticks on the band between tracks 4 & 5 on side one there are no clicks, jumps, repeats or any other major faults anywhere.

Cover

VERY GOOD
The correct type, early example has moderate handling & storage wear but no major faults. There is some light wear to the corners and lower edge, but the opening is clean & unworn on both sides. The rear is clean with just some light handling marks but no writing or missing paper. All the flipbacks are intact and the seam & spine are strong & unsplit.

Strict grading under strong daylight & halogen light to UK 'RECORD COLLECTOR' standards.
I play every record I sell at volume and list all visual and audible faults.
Unless stated, all records lie 100% flat & play without distortion, jumps or sticks & all sleeves have no writing, splits or tears.
The listing photos have been taken by myself and are of the actual items for sale.

All records are packed tightly in strong custom made record boxes with the disc removed from the cover.
