This is the sought after DCC Compact Classics mono version of the classic album, remastered by Steve Hoffman and released in 1995.  The Limited Edition number is 3620.  I have owned the album from new and it has only been played a few times. 

CONDITION

I use the RC grading categories and have play graded the vinyl on a Linn LP12. I have been using high end turntables for over 30 years.  My records have been stored in a pet free, smoke free home.

 

Sleeve:  Excellent

The cover has been stored in a sturdy plastic outer sleeve and is in excellent condition overall.  The glossy front cover retains its sheen and the rear cover is superb.  There is a 2cm crease at the top of the front cover (through the word ‘Pure’) and a small amount of laminate lifting and wear on the top edge.  There is no wear to the spine and very little to the corners.   There are no tears, splits, writing or stains. 

The photo insert with notes by Brian Wilson is as new.

 

Vinyl:  Excellent+

The record has had very little play.  There are no scratches and the vinyl looks immaculate.  There are just a couple of spindle marks.  There are a couple of isolated ticks in track 2 of side 1 but otherwise the vinyl sound quality is flawless and near mint.

 

POSTAGE AND PACKAGING

The record will be packed in a record mailer with stiffener and posted 2nd class signed for.  I remove all records from outer and printed inner sleeves before packing to avoid damage to covers during transit. All vinyl is dispatched in polythene sleeves.

This is one of several albums I am selling from my personal collection (see my other listings).  I am not a dealer but have been buying records for over 40 years and have decided to begin ‘downsizing’ my collection.  I will be listing many more records over the coming months, dating from the 1960s to the present day.

Thank you for your interest.
