CONDITION
Disc
Labels: NEAR MINT
A superb unworn set showing just a couple of light spindle trails around the side 2 centre hole and just one on side 1.
Visual: NEAR MINT
Pristine deep-gloss playing surfaces which apart from a hint of 'bag rash' from the inner-sleeve are unmarked and 'as new'.
Audio: MINT
Played just once or twice at most, the audio is flawless and wonderful throughout.
Cover: EXCELLENT
Protected all its life by the shrink, the front panel laminate is perfectly clean, glossy & unrubbed. There are a few small wrinkles to the spine but no 'thumbnail's anywhere. There is minor shelfwear to the tips of the lower corners and a small bump to the upper left but both opening edges are sharp and unworn. The rear panel is perfectly clean, white and unblemished, as are all the flipbacks, seams and spine. Not many of these left, especially in this shape.
Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT +
