Matrix / Runout - Runout side 2: S 63699 B6


Vinyl: With the exception of side 1, track 1 the album plays back EXCELLENT! No heavy noise, no heavy clicks, no heavy pops. Side 1, track 1 has a rotational, yet low level, audible noise through 50% of the track due to a scratch. (10/12 rotational light clicks followed by low level noise). The remainder of the track and album play back excellent. A really decent press. Visually graded at EX-. Incredibly clean! Other than the scratch on track 1 (see last image) a couple of other non audible hairlines/scuffs on each side. Minimal further light hairline surface marks visible under bright light where the vinyl has been in and out of its sleeve. The record has retained its beautiful sheen. Clean labels, minimal scuffing around centre hole from the turntable spindle.


Cover: EXCELLENT! Visually graded at EX. Minimal ageing wear is visible but nothing detrimental to its overall stunning appearance. The most notable wear is slight creasing to the laminate in a couple of spots. No visible ring wear. Colours are clear and vivid. Spine too is in excellent condition, all text clear. Inner white paper sleeve.

Record grading:

Near Mint (NM) - The record has been on a shelf between other records. The vinyl looks glossy and clearly has only been played a few times. There are no marks on the vinyl and the whole package is complete.


Excellent (E) - Same but I'd tolerate very light marks where the vinyl has been in and out of the inner sleeve a few times, or tiny signs of use generally.


Very Good Plus (VG+) - A few further faults are acceptable, but nothing that really compromises the record visually or audibly. A little rub, light inaudible marks, a little background crackle.


Very Good (VG) - It's seen a bit of life, but is still usable. Light pops and clicks, an edge split, light visible scratches. You can still listen to it and enjoy looking at it, but it is visually and audibly USED.
