CONDITION
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT +
A vibrant set with a small collection of light spindle trails around each unworn centre hole.
Visual: EXCELLENT +
Pristine deep-gloss playing surfaces which apart from a single 5mm surface mark on side 1 are totally unmarked in strong daylight. Even close examination beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp reveals just a few barely visible wispy paper hairlines & a sparkling rainbow shine.
Sound Quality: EXCELLENT
This fine sounding copy has received minimal careful play and is without any significant deterioration to the sound quality or any major faults. My single careful play-check detected a touch of minor playwear to some peaks but no clicks, pops, jumps or any other such distractions or faults.
Cover: EXCELLENT
A highly respectable example of this colourful cover which retains a vibrant, unscratched high-gloss front laminate bearing just two tiny 'thumbnails' & no other signs of wear. All corners are free from any bumps or bruising and both opening edges are sharp and undamaged. There are some faint handling/age blemishes to the rear panel but no writing or missing paper anywhere. All flipbacks are fully intact and unworn and both seams are smooth & unstressed.
The spine is fully laminated and clearly worded both ends.
Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT
Some light storage creasing but no major faults.
