CONDITION
Disc
Labels: NEAR MINT
A super, unworn set with just two or three barely visible spindle trails around each undamaged centre hole.
Visual: NEAR MINT
Both playing surfaces MINT in strong daylight, retaining all of their 'as new' deep gloss shines. Close examination directly beneath my powerful and unforgiving halogen desk lamp reveals one or two barely visible wispy paper hairlines but this really is as good as it gets.
Sound Quality: MINT
The sound quality throughout this amazing copy is flawless. Every track plays with such warmth and clarity, it will not fail to disappoint.
Cover: NEAR MINT
A 1st class example with a pristine, unscratched high-gloss front laminate bearing just a single faint 'thumbnail' wrinkle on John's face and a single tiny spine bend. Apart from those minor signs of wear, this is how it left the shops 42 years ago. All corners are perfectly sharp and unworn and both opening edges undamaged. The rear panel is immaculately white with the only flaw being a tiny 'push' to the edge of the upper flipback. All seams are perfectly smooth and unstressed and the spine is white, fully laminate and boldly worded.
Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT +
Clean & crisp white with a few unavoidable gentle storage bends but no writing, seams splits or tears.
