CONDITION

Disc

Labels: NEAR MINT

A clean & unblemished pair with just a handful of faint spindle trails around each completely unworn centre hole.

Visual: NEAR MINT

Pristine, deep-gloss playing surfaces which totally unmarked & MINT when viewed in strong daylight with just a few barely visible wispy paper hairlines upon close examination directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp. Tough to find a cleaner copy than this.

Sound Quality: MINT

Played no more than a handful of times on top-quality equipment, every track plays flawlessly and sounds wonderful. No need to find another copy of this classic.

Cover: EXCELLENT +

A wonderfully vibrant & strong example which retains an immaculate, unscratched high-gloss laminate where the only trace of wear is a faint bend near the opening edge, but both opening edges themselves are razor sharp & completely unworn. All corners are sharp & square with no bumps or bruising to any. The rear panel is clean & unfaded with just a trace of a disc impression towards the opening edge but certainly no writing or missing paper. The spine is clean & straight with just a 2cm section of wear from the upper corner but all of the wording is covered and unworn.

Both seams are unstressed & unsplit.

Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT

Clean & flat with minor age-toning & a light disc impression, but no writing, seams splits or tears.
