Sensational audio quality on this first pressing - impressively recorded and engineered with a strong, rich, warm and vibrant sound and my play-check at loud volume found nothing to fault - plays beautifully - top copy

The outer laminated surfaces have a deep, glass-like glossy sheen and the unlaminated inside is clean, bright and unmarked. The edges are unworn and the spine is straight and true with all text clear and bold. The back has some laminate creasing but this is from manufacture and not later wear
