CONDITION
Disc
Labels: NEAR MINT
An immaculate pair with just a single spindle mark to each centre hole.
Visual: NEAR MINT
Both playing surfaces of this pristine disc are in perfect 'as new' and unmarked condition when viewed in strong daylight. Close examination directly beneath halogen desk lamp reveals nothing more than a sparkling rainbow shine and a few barely visible wispy inner-sleeve removal paper hairlines. This really is close to MINT as you could hope to find.
Play: NEAR MINT
Pristine, totally unworn audio throughout, sounding as warm and clear as the day it was pressed. My careful play check found a hint or wear to the final track on each side but no further evidence of wear elsewhere. Both run-ins and all bands play silently with not a single clicks, tick, pop or any other such audible distraction anywhere on this unbeatable copy.
Cover
NEAR MINT
A remarkable example which looks as if it left the shops this morning, let alone 44 years ago! Stored correctly in non-smoking conditions it has survived all the ravages of time and would be impossible to upgrade. The high-gloss front panel laminate is in superb condition with just a single tiny 'thumbnail' and a few faint spine wrinkles, but otherwise this is 'as new'. All corners and both opening edges are in perfect unworn & undamaged condition and the rear panel is, as you can see, in perfection itself with absolutely no marks or wear to any area. All flipbacks are as they left the factory and both seams are smooth and unstressed. The spine is fully worded and retains its factory pinched ends. You won't find better.
Inner-sleeve
NEAR MINT
Clean, flat & white with just an unavoidable light disc impression but no writing, splits or tears.
