• Conversion is from a budget deck so they are not audiophile quality and there is a bit of distortion not heard on the album itself - but they do allow you to hear the quality of the surfaces & playback to take the uncertainty out of buying :) 
• If you have trouble with the link from mobile devices, please click the option for 'desktop' when youtube opens - failing that drop me a message and I'll send you the link.

Vinyl Surfaces - EX 

Audio Test - EX. 

• Listened to in full on budget deck and Audio Technica Studio headphones. 
• The most audible crackles are at the start of track 1 and are much better from there on in...Please click the link at the top of the listing to hear samples from the actual album listed here. Gaps between tracks/very quiet parts of songs have some audible light background noise - but this album packs the songs so tightly the gaps are about 1/2 to 1 second. Once the songs start these cannot be heard unless on a really quiet part or on the fade-outs. 
• Overall the songs sound bright and clear and can be enjoyed without any major background noise. 
• The original Analogue Mix also sounds fantastic, with great definition. Beats even the original masters of the CD version for feeling 'real' :)

Visual Inspection/Bright Light: EX

• Graded under the same VERY bright spotlights used to take the pictures of the record
• Small number of very light, small hairline marks on each side when looking carefully - the kind of marks left by fairly light use, very careful handling and cleaning with proper record-care cloths. 
• No deep scratches, no major marks. 

Visual Inspection - Bright Daylight: Looks Mint. 




Vinyl Labels - EX

• Both labels excellent 

• No mould, scratches or marks. 

• Colours and printed text all perfect 

• Tiny amount of wear on spindle holes 




Outer Sleeve - EX+ 

• Nice sheen all round, no colour fading. 

• Tiny bit of wear on corners 

• Very small bit of wear on spine, all writing is clearly readable apart from the first 'E' on 'Seventh' which has a small mark.







Inner Lyric/Picture Sleeve - NM 

• Eddie picture part excellent, no colour fading, no creases or marks.  

• Lyric part excellent. All lyrics perfectly visible and no colour fading

• Inner spine excellent with only a TINY bit of wear (and I'm being very critical) 




Fan Club Merchandise Sheet - EX
