Dire Straits - Love Over Gold
Vertigo Records
Cat# 6359 109
1982
Australian release
Cover is in excellent condition, no seam splits, no tears and no significant edge wear. Includes the inner printed sleeve. I have always kept the vinyl OUT of this sleeve because it is of the type where the edge glue of the sleeve can stick to the vinyl record - messy and difficult to clean. So the record is next to the inner printed sleeve, in its own plastic sleeve.
New inner plastic sleeve is supplied
Vinyl media is in very good condition, inspected under a white halogen light source I can see no scratches/scuff marks at all on each side. I then played both sides, playback is very very good and there are no issues with clicks/pops or surface noise BUT ...
SPECIAL NOTE: I noticed during playback that there is a small "wave" - this vinyl is not flat. Now this does not cause mistracking on my system (and I have my tonearm setup with very low stylus pressure for just such records as this to catch mistracking problems)
Both sides appear to be equally affected although the "wave" is perhaps more noticeable towards the centre but what is really important is ...
No mistracking at all, but the "wave" is noticeable if you observe the vinyl playing.
