Disc
Labels: NEAR MINT
A vivd, vibrant and totally unworn set with just two or three noticeable spindle trails around the side 1 centre hole only but no trace of any wear/usage elsewhere.
Visual: NEAR MINT
Pristine deep-gloss playing surfaces which are 'as new'/MINT in strong daylight with no visual marks ro wear of any kind. Close and careful inspection beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp reveals nothing more than a handful of harmless wispy inner-sleeve removal hairlines no definitely no scuffs, scratches or any other visual blemishes of any description. Both sides of this outstanding example lie 100% flat on the turntable when playing.
Play: EXCELLENT +
This remarkable copy has clearly received very little play and the sound throughout is 1st-class. My single careful play-check picked up a hint of wear to the peaks on 'Dear Doctor' and 'Street Fighting Man', but this really is extremely minor and does not spoil the listening enjoyment. There were certainly no clicks, pops, background crackle or any other audible distraction of any kind on any track of this well-looked after example.
Cover: EXCELLENT +
An extremely well-preserved example which retains an unscratched high-gloss laminate all-round with just a single tiny 'thumbnail' on the front panel and two tiny spine bends - that's all. There is a touch of wear to the upper right corner but no bumps or significant wear to any of the others or to any of the opening edges. The inside of the gatefold is immaculate and the rear panel flawless. All seams are smooth & unsplit and the spine is clean and fully worded.
Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT +
Clean & flat with just slight age-toning and a few gentle storage bends but no splits, tears or writing.
