CONDITION
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT +
A bright & vivid pair with little more than a trace of wear to each centre hole but no spindle marks or other blemishes.
Visual: VERY GOOD
Bright & clean playing surfaces but with several noticeable surface marks and light scratches in strong daylight, but none are deep or 'feelable'. Both sides still retain a healthy rainbow shine directly beneath halogen light along with numerous wispy paper-type hairlines consistent with frequent play, but no major faults.
Play: VERY GOOD +
This copy has clearly received many plays but is without any significant deterioration to the sound quality throughout. There are no heavy clicks, pops, jumps or repeats and apart from some light background between tracks, there is little else to fault here.
Cover
VERY GOOD
Always such a hard cover to find in good shape, this example is extremely respectable bearing just 'normal' handling & storagewear. Despite slight wear to the corners and opening edges, there are no seam splits, tears, writing or missing paper anywhere.
**PLEASE NOTE: This item is being sent from AUSTRIA. 1st class international postage to UK addresses will be 8.00 GBP**
- 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 transcription 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.
- Please take a look at my About Me page for more details.
