CONDITION
Disc
Labels: MINT
An immaculate set with no spindle trails around either totally unworn centre hole.
Visual: NEAR MINT
Pristine deep-gloss playing surfaces which are 'as new' & unmarked in strong daylight, showing just a few barely visible sleeve removal marks directly beneath my unforgiving halogen desk lamp.
Sound Quality: NEAR MINT
This disc shows no signs of ever having been played and my single play-check confirmed the sound on both sides to be flawless & wonderful throughout.
Cover: EXCELLENT
Clean & flat with a touch of storage but no writing, tear or seam splits.
