CONDITION
Labels: NEAR MINT
All are clean & bright with no significant or major signs of wear. There are a handful of light spindle trails around the side 1 & 2 centre holes with 2/3 on label 3, but none at all on 4
Both Discs Visual: MINT
Remarkably all sides are in pristine factory-fresh condition. All are totally unmarked both in strong daylight AND directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp. You will not find a finer set
Sound Quality of both discs: NEAR MINT
Played less than a handful of times on quality equipment, every track plays cleanly and clearly with no crackle or groovewear. My playcheck detected a trace of normal low-level vinyl background between tracks and in some of the album's quieter passages, but no clicks, pops or any other audible distraction of any kind
Cover: VERY GOOD +
A respectable example which could possibly be upgraded later to match the quality of the discs. The cover is evenly coloured throughout with a glossy all-round laminate bearing light storage rubbing and a faint disc impression. There is a small area of damage to the front top-opening edge, but there is no major wear to the other edges or corners
The inside of the gatefold is clean & unworn and the rear panel is as clean and glossy as the front with a clear 'stereo' indicator
The spine wording is covered and readable but there is a 6cm split in the central section
Inner-sleeves: VERY GOOD + & GOOD
Both are present but one has a large tear to the centre window. However there are no seams splits to either
Photos & Poster: MINT
