Disc One: EXCELLENT PLUS!
The record shows superb deep-gloss playing surfaces, nice and clean without marks when viewed in both natural daylight and under direct halogen spotlight. A fantastic example, which is especially rare for disc one of this album.
Disc Two: EXCELLENT!
The record shows superb deep-gloss playing surfaces with some light signs of use under direct halogen spotlight. A fantastic example of a difficult LP to find in such condition.
Audio Grade:
Disc One: EXCELLENT PLUS!
The record plays beautifully in full. Quiet intros and between tracks, no obtrusive loud pops, no clicks and obviously no or skips or sticks at this high grade. A fantastic mono listening experience with great channel separation, crisp vocals and punchy bass.
Disc Two: EXCELLENT!
The record plays beautifully with some light crackle in a few quiet passages. No obtrusive loud pops, no clicks and obviously no or skips or sticks at this high grade. Overall a fantastic mono listening experience with great channel separation, crisp vocals and punchy bass.
Sleeve: EXCELLENT!
The sleeve is in fantastic shape, bright and creamy white without yellowing. The front and back retain their original glossy sheen with no sign of ring wear, as is the insides. Sharp edges with a light crack at the spine upper half. Thats about it! No stains, pen or marks. Overall it is a superb example of an often heavily worn record made even more powerful by the very low sleeve number.
Inners: EXCELLENT!
Poster: EXCELLENT PLUS!
Photos w/spacer: EXCELLENT PLUS!
