THE BASE COLOUR FULLY STRETCHES INTO THE UNWORN SPINDLE HOLE.
THE BLACK TYPEFACE IS CLEAR AND UNRUBBED AND THEREFORE PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THERE ARE JUST 4-5 TINY SPIDER LINES BY THE SPINDLE HOLETHE VINYLTHE RECORD GLEAMS LIKE NEW AND COULDN T LOOK ANY BETTER.
ALL OF THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE HAS BEEN RETAINED.
THERE ARE NO VISIBLE MARKS OR ANY SIGNS OF HANDLING ON THE DISC, AND IN DAYLIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS FLAWLESSUNDER A BANK OF SPOTLIGHTS I CAN SEE A FEW TINY WISPY HAIRLINES AND A COUPLE OF ULTRA FINE HANDLING LINESPLAYING THE RECORDTHE RECORD PLAYS SUPERBLY THROUGH THE ENTIRE ALBUMTHIS IS A HIGH QUALITY ALBUM, AND NOT A TRASHED AND SCRATCHED ONETHE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS THAT THERE IS NO DISTORTION TO THE SOUND, MEANING NO GROOVE WEARA CLEAN AND CLEAR SOUND THROUGH OUTTHE INSTRUMENTATION IS HEARD CLEARLY AND AS WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDEDNO BACKGROUND CRACKLE WHATSOEVER.
THIS ALBUM HAS CLEARLY BEEN WELL LOOKED AFTERTHE SILENT PASSAGES OF MUSIC ARE OUTSTANDINGSO THE ONLY THING THAT IS SLIGHTLY IMPERFECT IS THAT THERE ARE SOME OCCASIONAL LITTLE TICS DURING THE PLAY.
I WOULD ESTIMATE AROUNF 10-15 OVER THE ENTIRE ALBUM.
THESE ARE NOT LOUD JUST LIGHT TICS HERE AND THEREI ALSO HEARD JUST A COUPLE OF SPECKS OF VERY LOW LEVEL STATIC LIKE BACKGROUND IN JUST 2-3 PLACESTHE ALBUM PLAYS EVERY BIT AS GOOD AS IT LOOKS AND WOULD GRACE ANY COLLECTIONOverall it s very close to near Mint for the sound.

YOU WILL SEE FROM THE PICTURES THERE IS A SMALL REAPIRED SPLIT AT THE TOP OF THE TOWER AND A FEW LIGHT CREASE LINES ON THE BASE OF THE TOWERI SUSPECT MANY ENDED UP FAR WORSE THAN THIS WITH IN SOME CASES THE BUILDING BEING COMPLETELY TORN AWAY AND LOST.
