Labels: NEAR MINT
A pristine pair bearing no more than 2/3 faint spindle trails around the side 2 cente hole only.
Visual: NEAR MINT
Factory-fresh deep-gloss playing surfaces which are 'as new' & totally unmarked in strong daylight, with just a few wispy paper hairlines from the inner-sleeve beneath halogen light. You won't find a cleaner example.
Sound Quality: MINT
Played just ONCE by its original owner, this is a flawless sounding copy which will not require upgrading.
Cover: EXCELLENT +
A fine example of this easily blemished cover which has been carefully stored in a non-smoking environment these past 50 years.
The striking front panel is clean & glossy with minimal storagewear to its high-gloss laminate and no 'thumbnails' or spine wrinkles.
There is slight bruising to the corner tips but both opening edges are sharp & unworn.
The exposed rear panel is beautifully white and free from any writing or any other significant blemishes.
The spine is in perfect condition as are both seams.
Inner-sleeve: NEAR MINT
