CONDITION

Disc

Labels: NEAR MINT

A vibrant, unblemished set bearing just a handful of faint spindle trails around each unworn centre hole.

Visual: NEAR MINT

Immaculate factory-fresh, deep-gloss playing surfaces which are totally unmarked & 'as new' in strong daylight, showing only a few barely visible wispy paper hairlines which I struggled to find directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp.

Sound Quality: EXCELLENT

This carefully and seldom played copy has no trace of any groove/playwear distortion on any track or in either channel. My single careful play-check at volume detected some light background during some quieter passages and between tracks, but no ticks, clicks or any other audible distractions whatsoever.

Cover: EXCELLENT

A respectable example of this fragile affair with a clean & unscratched high-gloss front panel laminate where the only blemish is some laminate lift along the spine area. However, this has no cracked and is still fully intact. All corners are unworn & unbumped and both opening edges are unworn. The exposed rear panel bears some minor age-related blemishes but it is free from any writing or missing paper.

The spine is clean, unworn & fully worded throughout & both seams are unstressed & unsplit.

Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT

Flat & uncreased with some moderate age-toning but no writing tears or seams splits.
