CONDITION
Disc
Labels: Disc 1: EXCELLENT + Disc 2: NEAR MINT
All are clean with a few scuffs on the labels 1 & 2 but only 1/2 faint spindle trails around each unworn centre hole.
Visual: NEAR MINT
Pristine, factory-fresh playing surfaces which apart from a few barely visible wispy paper hairlines beneath my unforgiving halogen desk lamp, are flawless.
Sound Quality: NEAR MINT
Both discs appear to have been played only once or twice at most. All tracks play cleanly & clearly during my playcheck with nothing more than a trace of low-level vinyl background on the run-ins. Tough to upgrade this one.
Booklet/Cover: EXCELLENT +
The vibrant front panel is glossy & unscratched with just a touch of shelfwear to the corner tips
Inside, all pages inside are clean & fully intact with no rust or wear to the staples on the blue central lyric sheet
There is some minor wear to the upper edge of the rear panel & a small bruise to the upper left corner. All seams and the spine are smooth and totally unworn.
Inner-sleeves: NEAR MINT
Each record is professionally & securely packaged in custom-made record mailing boxes with the disc removed from the cover.
This item is located in and will be shipped from AUSTRIA. Tracked airmail postage to UK addresses will be 12 GBP**
