CONDITION

Slipcase: NEAR MINT

Incredibly difficult to find in this condition, this wonderful example has been carefully stored and barely touched since purchase.

The front is clean & glossy with just a hint of storagewear & a tiny rub to the lower right corner, but no wrinkles or creasing anywhere.

All edges are sharp & straight with only a touch of wear to a small section on one rear edge, but no tears or missing laminate/paper.

The rear is as clean as the front with again just light storagewear and no wear at all to either the upper or lower ends of the box.

Outer Tray: EXCELLENT

This is a very snug fit on this example and consequently there is some creasing to the flaps made as it was pulled from its slip-case.

However there is very little wear to the exposed folded edges and no tears anywhere.

Inner Tray: EXCELLENT +

This fragile component has survived in nice shape and has just a single 1cm stress tear in one of the corners where the book sat and another to the lower fold-over edge.

Book: EXCELLENT +

A fine copy which shows little signs of having been opened or read.

The front cover has a slight ripple and two faint lines which appear to be from manufacture rather than from wear.


All pages inside are clean, uncreased and unworn with none loose or missing.


There is slight wear to the lower right corner of the front cover but the spine is not 'cracked' and the lettering is unworn.

DISC

Labels: MINT

A perfect pair bearing NO spindle trails around either unworn centre hole.

Visual: NEAR MINT

Immaculate deep-gloss playing surfaces which retain all of their deep-gloss shine and are 'as new' in strong daylight.

Close inspection directly beneath halogen light reveals just two faint hairlines on side 1, but side 2 is perfect.

Audio: NEAR MINT

Played possibly no more than once or twice, this exceptional sounding disc sounds warm & fresh throughout with no trace of any groove/playwear on any track or in either channel. In fact, apart from a touch of low-level vinyl background between tracks, it is flawless.

LP Cover: MINT

All aspects of this beautiful example are so pristine, it could have left the store yesterday.

Both front & rear panels are clean, unworn and free from any 'thumbnail' or spine wrinkles.

All corners are sharp and unbumped and both opening edges are razor-sharp and appear untouched.

The spine and both seams are smooth, unstressed and undamaged.

There are a few very faint wispy storage marks on the laminate but this really a final upgrade and the best I have seen.

Inner-sleeve: MINT

Apple Poster: EXCELLENT +

Factory-folded poster is unhung with just a little light creasing towards the upper right corner from storage.

The perfect compliment to this amazing set.
