CONDITION

Disc

Labels: NEAR MINT

All are perfectly clean & unblemished with just two or three barely visible spindle trails around the side 2 & 4 centre holes but none on 1 & 3.

Visual: NEAR MINT

All playing surfaces retain all of their 'as new' deep-gloss shines and apart from a single light surface scuff on side 2, all side are unmarked both in strong daylight AND directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp.

Sound Quality: NEAR MINT

Always a great sounding pressing with the finest stereo source for many of these tracks, this barely played copy plays flawlessly throughout with no traces of any audible faults or wear.

Cover: NEAR MINT

An extremely clean, strong and unworn example which retains a flawless, unscratched laminate front & rear with no indentations, 'thumbnails' or any other creasing or wear. There is a mild bump to the upper left corner but no wear whatsoever to any of the other or to any opening edge. The inside of the gatefold is flawless and all seams and the spine are in perfect condition.

Inner-sleeve: NEAR MINT

An immaculate pair with no creasing,or even and seam stresses or splits anywhere.
