This
record is in near mint condition. It has no
obvious spindle marks visible on the labels and there are no pen marks, scuffs,
stains and no fading. The centres show a touch of wear but are not
loose or
worn. Overall
the labels are in superb condition and have no serious issues to report.
As for
the vinyl itself, both sides are really clean and have little showing in
normal
light. There is the odd very minor thin light wispy line and very faint 'manufacturing whisker' visible when angled and under
bright light but of course nothing remotely
sinister. So overall the record
is in really nice condition and has no nasty scuffs, serious marks or
blemishes.
I
play
tested the record and it played really well and sounded great
throughout. It lays flat on the deck and upon playing there is only the most minor hint of upward movement in the record arm. The sound produced
is really nice and is very clear. There is little to no surface noise or interference audible in the audio, and only the slightest minor hint in the run in. There is no
distortion
caused by
excessive use and there are no
skips, sticks or annoying clicks/pops. Overall it was a pleasure to play
test
and produced audio of good quality which had excellent clarity and
definition throughout.
The sleeve is in excellent- condition. It has some rubbing and wear to all the edges and corners but this is mostly on the spine where it has 'cracking' evident. There are no splits or weak areas anywhere however and the sleeve is still strong. Other than the wear on the spine there is a few small creases emanating from it, and also a slightly longer crease near the album title(see pics). There are no tears, scuffs, pen marks or serious ring marks and overall the sleeve looks tidy and clean all round. Please study the pictures provided to gain as much information as possible on its condition.
It
includes its original plain white inner which is in very good+ condition. This has no splits, pen marks or heavy creasing but does have some age related discolouring to it.
