Close examination beneath my unforgiving halogen desk lamp reveals a small number of harmless wispy paper hairlines which are consistent with inner-sleeve removal, together with a sparkling rainbow shine Sound Quality: NEAR MINT All tracks on this exquisite sounding copy play cleanly and clearly without any trace of groove/playwear.
Even the delicate She s Leaving Home is free from the usual distorted peaks.
There are are no clicks, pops, jumps or any other major distractions on either side.
In fact, apart from a touch of low-level vinyl background on the run-ins, it is hard to fault this masterpiece Cover: NEAR MINT A magnificent example of this earliest cover type which would not be out of place in a museum The front panel is vibrant and unfaded with a clean, unrubbed/unscratched high-gloss laminate A single small thumbnail and spine wrinkle are the only traces of wear visible All corners from the front are sharp, square and unbumped and both opening edges are unworn The rear panel is just as glossy as the front with a smaller thumbnail wrinkle and a few light scratches from storage There is a tiny bruise to the rear lower left corner, but all others are in great shape.
Both panels inside the gatefold are pristine All seams of both pockets are smooth unstressed The spine is clean square along its entire length with no crushing or laminate damage A final upgrade for your collection Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT Clean white where is should be, with just a few gentle storage wrinkles but no writing, tears or seam splits Cut-out sheet: MINT Our grading is strict conservative in strong daylight directly beneath a halogen desk lamp to UK RECORD COLLECTOR standards Each record is professionally securely packaged in custom-made record mailing boxes with the disc removed from the cover This item is located in and will be shipped from AUSTRIA.
