Condition: VG++ (Vinyl and Labels)/VG+ (Cover):
Vinyl, VG++:
Vinyl is still superlustrous - retaining its original shine - just a little sleeve wear - next to nothing.
Labels, VG++:
Side 1 label is perfect - without any trace of play. Side 2 label has a couple of light spindlemarks - lkabels are graded near perfect.
Cover, VG+:
Front cover has a little top wear - a crease in the lower right area and just a little wrinkling in the upper right corner area from a light bend.
Back cover has barely any agediscolouration - a tiny tear at the upper right 'S' in 'Stereo' - and a little one in the entirely white upper left area.
Cover has light seam and light to some corners wear - clear and readable spine though - cover is cut unevenly.
Playgrading: Near perfect, VG++:
Vinyl tracks and plays straight - vinyl plays amazing with just at little discontinued statics or light cracling at relatively high volume - and only in the more quiet or soundles passages.
Vinyl displays great dynamics, clearly defined instruments and a fine perspective.
