CONDITION
Disc
Labels: NEAR MINT
Both are vivid and unfaded with no more the 2/3 spindle marks around each unworn centre hole.
Visual: NEAR MINT
Immaculate deep-gloss playing surfaces which are totally unmarked and 'as new' in strong daylight. Closer inspection directly beneath my unforgiving halogen desk lamp reveals nothing more than a trace of inner-sleeve storage & a sparkling rainbow shine. No need to upgrade this copy.
Sound Quality: MINT
Played less than a handful of times on high-end equipment by its original unappreciative owner, the sound quality throughout this pristine disc is flawless and wonderful.
Cover: EXCELLENT +
A very fine example of this iconic cover which retains a clean, unscratched & unworn high-gloss front laminate, free from any 'thumbnail' wrinkles or creasing of any kind. There is a small bruise to the upper left corner but all others, along with both opening edges are sharp and unworn. The exposed rear panel is overall clean & white with just a few aged fingermarks towards the mouth but no writing or missing paper anywhere. Both flipbacks are in-place and totally unworn.
Both seams are smooth & unstressed and the spine is unworn & fully worded
Inner-sleeve: NEAR MINT
