CONDITION
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT +
A bright, unblemished pair with less than a handful of well-aimed light spindle trails around each centre hole.
Visual: EXCELLENT +
Both playing surfaces have lost none of their 'as new' deep-gloss shines and side 1 is unmarked in strong daylight. Apart from a few harmless inner-sleeve removal marks on side 2 there is nothing else to fault visually on this well looked-after copy. Even careful examination directly beneath my unforgiving halogen light reveals little more than a few barely visible inner-sleeve hairlines. Both sides of this high-quality copy lie 100% flat both sides when playing.
Play: NEAR MINT
Flawless, unworn audio on this copy which allows the power of this mix to be heard on every track. My single careful play-check at volume found no evidence of any groove/playwear on any track or in either channel. Both run-ins and all bands play without interference and there is not a single tick, clicks or pop on the entire album. No need to upgrade this one for sound.
Cover
EXCELLENT
A 1st-class example of this easily blemished iconic cover which bears a clean, glossy and unyellowed front panel laminate with just a light bend to the lower left corner and minor bruising to the extremities of the others. Both opening edges are clean & undamaged with just a few small 'pushes' to the rear. The rear panel itself is pleasingly clean & white with no significant marks or any writing or missing paper. All flipbacks are clean and fully intact & both seams and the fully worded spine are all smooth, unstressed and undamaged.
Inner-sleeve
EXCELLENT
Clean & correct with just some inevitable light wrinkling but no writing, seam splits or tears.
