CONDITION
Disc
Labels: NEAR MINT
A superb set with no more than two or three faint spindle trails around either completely unworn centre hole.
Visual: 1. See description. 2. EXCELLENT +
This disc has barely been out of its cover during the past 47 years. Side 2 of the disc is extremely clean, glossy and unmarked in strong daylight. However, all of the original shine from side 1 has been from long-term storage but both surfaces are free from any scuffs or scratches and both lie 100% flat on the turntable when playing.
Play: 1. See description. 2. EXCELLENT +
This disc has clearly been barely played and there is no groove/play wear audible on any track. The only significant audible blemish is some faint background which is only really noticeable on 'I'll Follow the Sun'. Side 2 plays cleanly and clearly and without any such interference.
Cover: EXCELLENT
A clean & strong example which apart from some bending to the upper right corner is free from any significant signs of wear. The rear panel is clean & unmarked there are no splits or tears anywhere.
