CONDITION

Labels: NEAR MINT

Visual: EXCELLENT

Superb, sparkling high-gloss surfaces which bear just one or two very light surface lines in strong daylight. Careful inspection directly beneath halogen light reveals just a few very faint inner-sleeve removal marks/hairlines but no significant or major visual wear.

Play: EXCELLENT

All tracks on this great LP play cleanly & clearly with no significant deterioration to the sound quality anywhere. There is no groovewear distortion on any track. Apart from a few light clicks at the end of 'Young & Innocent', there really is little to fault.

Cover

GOOD

Unfortunately quite tired with general handling & storagewear. The front leaf is intact but has some feathering to edge and there is some age-discoluration to the rear. The inside is clean & bright with no stains or writing. The cover's only major fault is a 4cm split in the spine.

Insert

EXCELLENT

Clean and flat with just slight toning to the inner fold but no tears or any other kind of damage.


  • Strict & grading under strong daylight & halogen light based upon UK 'RECORD COLLECTOR' standards.
  • I play every record I sell at volume on high-end audio equipment 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.
  • The listing photos have been taken by myself and are of the actual items for sale.
  • All records are packed strongly & securely in custom-made record mailing boxes with the disc removed from the cover.
