Condition

All records are visually graded unless otherwise stated

Records-EX A very nice example that has been well preserved. It has retained a deep glossy shine throughout both sides with some light faint hairline marks and inconsequential, wispy, light inner sleeve marks. Nothing that is heavy, feelable or distracting. There are some light spindle marks both sides, but the record has clearly been well handled and cared for in the correct manner. A nice example.

I have listened to both sides of the record completely and the sound was not as good as the visual suggested probably VG+/EX- but this has been the case with the last six copies of this record I have had, I can only assume that the pressings were not as good as the usual standard expected from this series. Due the to the sparsenes of some of the vocal part often being unacompanied background noise is often slightly more prevalent than during louder orchestra arrangement. This record played fine from begining to end but there was an underlying static background noise noticed in varying degrees throughout both sides, this was certainly not noticed consistently as it was enjoyable and perfectly listenable and the background static was pretty low in the mix for the most part. I suspect that most copies are like this as I have had three Near Mint copies that sounded the same. Maybe I have just been unlucky. Please do not bid on this record expecting a Near Mint copy because it simply isnt but if you want a perfectly respectable listening copy then have a bid.

 Sleeve-EX Generally clean throughout and present well. The front is generally clean with minimal laminate wear, some very mild edge and corner wear. The opening edge has some localised marks and mild creases. The reverse of the sleeve is clean with some minimal discolouration and very light marks. A solid sleeves that presents very well.
