CONDITION
Disc
Labels: MINT
A perfect, unblemished pair with no spindle marks or wear to either centre hole.
Visual: NEAR MINT
Pristine playing surfaces which are 'as new' and completely unmarked in strong daylight with just a few barely visible harmless wispy paper hairlines visible on side 2 only directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp. Both sides of this unbeatable copy lie 100& flat on the turntable when playing.
Sound Quality: NEAR MINT
This amazing copy has clearly been barely, if ever played. My single careful play-check at volume found no trace of any groove/playwear distortion on any track or either channel and certainly no clicks, pops or any other such audible distraction. In fact, apart from a touch of light background on the introduction to the title track, there is nothing to fault on this superb sounding copy.
Cover: EXCELLENT +
A extremely strong & unworn example which retains a clean high-gloss laminate all-round where the only significant wear are three faint 'thumbnail' wrinkles on the front panel, along with one or two small spine bends. The rear panel is free from any wrinkles, displaying only a touch of shelf-wear along the lower edge. All corners are both opening edges are sharp & square and both opening edges are unworn. Both seams are unstressed & unsplit and the spine is uncrushed and perfectly worded.
Poster: EXCELLENT
Fully intact and unhung with the only blemish being a few faint age-spots.
Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT
Clean & flat with a touch of toning to the edges but no writing, tears or seam splits.
