Please respect that I will not consider ANY offers.
Mothers / stampers - NONE
GRADING
VINYL - G/VG - There is a long light / moderate mark running across the A side see picture and a couple more that are noticeable too, there are a couple of small feelable scratches. The B side is less marked, although there are still a few light marks to be seen. Both sides retain a reasonable sheen.
LABELS - EX - Clean labels are pretty much unmarked, just some light spindle marks either side.
AUDIO - G/VG - Side 1, track 1 - there are a couple of light ticks 2/3 of the way in, rest of track plays ok, light crack and odd light tick or pop. Track 2 - there are a few light ticks / crackle at the start, about halfway through there are some repeating light clicks for around 30 secs, about 2/3 in there are a few clicks on the quieter bit, a couple of quite heavy ones, then some light clicks thereafter. Track 3 - Some light crackle, the odd light click here and there, Track 4 is very similar to track 3.
Side 2, Track 1 - There are some heavy clicks at the start that continue for around 30 secs fading into some lighter clicks, about 1/3 in there are about 10 moderate repeating clicks, all other times some light crackle, odd light tick or pop. Track 2 has a couple of clicks at the beginning and again at the end, otherwise ok. Track 3 plays well bar a few clicks toward the end of the track, a couple of heavier ones too. Tracks 4 and 5 play well, just some light crackle and the odd tick or pop.
I have tried to be as accurate as possible with the play grade. There are no skips / sticking at all and bar the aforementioned issues playback is quite reasonable if you can put up with the clicks here and there.
SLEEVE - EX - The best thing and probably the most important is the the Turquoise lettered sleeve is in very nice condition indeed. A few light crescent creases / general small light creases / marks to the front and rear surface only, a light score mark see pictures at the bottom of the rear side and slight wear to the corners as pictured There is no de-lamination, the surfaces are shiny and bright, the spine is strong and clean, no real signs of feathering on the opening. In general - really nice all round condition
The album has been cleaned on the latest HANSS ACOUSTICS cleaning machine
