CONDITION
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT +
Both are vibrant and unworn with a small collection of light spindle trails around each unworn centre hole.
Visual: EXCELLENT +
Both playing surfaces retain all of their deep-gloss factory shine with the only noticeable in strong daylight being a small turntable scuff on side 1. Closer examination beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp reveals only some harmless wispy paper hairlines and a sparkling rainbow shine.
Sound Quality: NEAR MINT
Played just a handful of times on quality equipment, the sound quality is clean, clear and totally unworn throughout. My play-check detected no trace of any groove/play wear or crackle. Apart from a trace of regular low-level vinyl background between tracks, it is flawless.
Cover: NEAR MINT
An exceptional example of this iconic cover which has been carefully stored in a non-smoking environment the past 49 years.
The front panel is clean & retains its high-gloss laminate which is free from any 'thumbnails' or creasing.
All corners are square and unbumped and both opening edges sharp and unworn.
The exposed rear panel is perfectly & white and blemish-free.
Both seams and the fully worded spine are fully intact and undamaged.
Inner-sleeve: NEAR MINT
