CONDITION
Disc
Labels: NEAR MINT
A totally unworn pair showing only one or two tiny, faint marks around unworn centre hole.
Visual: NEAR MINT
Pristine factory-fresh playing surfaces which are unmarked & 'as new' in strong daylight with just a few harmless wispy paper hairlines & a sparkling rainbow shine directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp.
Sound Quality: MINT
This superb sounding copy has received just a few careful plays on top-quality equipment and my single careful play-check at volume found absolutely no evidence of any groove/playwear distortion, background interference or even a single click, pop or any other audible distraction. No need to upgrade this for sound.
Cover: VERY GOOD +
A respectable example of this scarce cover variant which bears light to moderate storagewear but no major faults. The front panel is clean & glossy with two small thumbnail wrinkles. There is moderate bending/wear to the corners but both opening edges are undamaged. The rear panel is clean overall with a hint of foxing but no writing or missing paper.
Both seam are smooth & unstressed and the spine is fully laminated & worded.
Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT
Clean & flat with some age-toning but no writing, seam splits or tears.
