CONDITION
Disc
Labels: NEAR MINT
A superb, unblemished pair with just two faint spindle trails to the side 1 centre hole and a small handful around on side 2.
Visual: NEAR MINT
Immaculate & pristine playing surfaces which are 100% unmarked and 'as new' in strong daylight with only a sparkling rainbow shine and a few barely visible wispy paper hairlines visible directly beneath my unforgiving halogen desk lamp. Tough to find a cleaner copy of this classic.
Play: NEAR MINT
This outstanding sounding copy has clearly received just a handful of careful plays on high-end equipment as the sound throughout is 'as new'. My careful play-check at volume detected no traces of a groove/play wear on any of these amazing songs. If I were being harsh, I'd say there is a touch of normal background between tracks, but certainly no clicks, tick, pops or any audible distractions whatsoever on this unbeatable copy.
Cover
EXCELLENT +
A superb clean & strong example which displays a bright white and unyellowed front panel laminate which has lost none of its 'as new' high-gloss shine. In fact, apart from three small 'thumbnail' wrinkles towards the opening edge there is nothing else to fault - not even a single spine crease. There is a single tiny bruise to the lower right corner but all others are perfectly square and sharp. Both opening edges are clean & undamaged, save for a few tiny 'pushes' to the rear. The rear panel itself is clean & black where it should be with no rubbing, ringwear or missing paper. There is a tiny indentation of a number on the upper flipback, but all of these are clean & undamaged. Both seams and the fully worded spine are all smooth, unstressed & totally unworn.
Inner-sleeve
EXCELLENT +
Clean, crisp & white with just an unavoidable light disc impression but no writing, tears or seam splits.
