CONDITION
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT +
A vivid & vibrant pair with a small collection of light spindle trails around each unworn centre hole.
Visual: EXCELLENT +
Exceptionally clean & unworn deep-gloss playing surfaces which apart from a few harmless light fingernail scuffs are unmarked in strong daylight. Closer inspection directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp reveals nothing more than a few wispy paper hairlines consistent with inner-sleeve removal and a sparkling rainbow shine.
Sound Quality: NEAR MINT
This great sounding copy has received minimal careful play on quality equipment and the sound quality throughout is clean, clean & totally unworn. My playcheck found no evidence of any groove/play wear, crackle, clicks or ticks, just a touch of low-level vinyl background between tracks. Tough to find a cleaner, better sounding copy.
Cover: NEAR MINT
This easily blemished cover never turns up in anything approaching this condition. However, this outstanding piece has been carefully stored in a clean, non-smoking environment and is amongst the best examples you will ever come across.
The striking unworn & totally un-yellowed front panel is pristine white and free from any 'thumbnails' or even a single spine bend. The small marks on the front panel are small blemishes beneath the laminate and not from damage or wear after it left the factory.
All corners are sharp and unworn and opening edges are sharp and undamaged.
The exposed rear panel is as clean and white as it could be with no blemishes of any description.
Both seams are smooth & unstressed and the spine is clean and perfectly worded.
Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT
