CONDITION

Disc

Labels: NEAR MINT

A superb set with no more than 2 or 3 light spindle trails to each centre hole.

Visual: NEAR MINT

Pristine, deep-gloss surfaces which are totally unmarked and 'as new' in strong daylight with just a few barely visible wispy paper hairlines directly beneath halogen light. Very hard to upgrade.

Play: NEAR MINT

Everything on this barely played copy sounds fresh, clean & clear with no traces of any groove/play wear or background noise on or between any track, let alone any clicks or pops. Hard to find a better sounding stereo copy.

Cover

EXCELLENT

This fine example bears a striking unyellowed, unscratched high-gloss front panel with just a single faint 'thumbnail', but no storagewear rubbing. The only factor preventing a higher grade is a bump to the lower edge towards the left corner. All the corners themsleves are sharp & square & both opening edges are are clean & unworn. The rear panel is perfectly clean & white with no marks, writing or missing paper. All flipbacks are intact and both seams & the perfectly worded spine are smooth, unstressed and undamaged.

Inner-sleeve

EXCELLENT

Clean & flat with just a few light storage creases but no writing, tears or splits.


  • Strict & grading under strong daylight & directly beneath a halogen desk lamp to UK 'RECORD COLLECTOR' standards.

  • All the photos in this listing have been taken by myself and are of the actual items for sale.
