No visible spindle marks.
Visual: EXCELLENT
Bright, clean and gloss surfaces bearing only a few minor sleeve removal marks and a single long light fingernail scuff on side 2.
There are no heavy marks or any scratches and both sides lie 100% flat on the turntable without any dishing or warping.
Audio: NEAR MINT
Plays completely 'as new' with no crackle, groovewear distortion or other audible wear on any track.
Disc 2

Visual: NEAR MINT
The disc appears unplayed and has totally pristine bright and glossy surfaces.
Close inspection directly under a halogen desk lamp reveals only a few minor sleeve removal marks.
There are no other marks or any scratches and both sides lie 100% flat on the turntable without any dishing or warping.
Audio: NEAR MINT
Again, both sides play totally 'as new' with no crackle, groovewear distortion or other audible wear on any track.
Cover: EXCELLENT
An outstanding un-yellowed example which is pristine white throughout.
The front retains an undamaged laminate with just a few minor wrinkles but no significant signs of wear.
Its only faults are; a faint impression or a number in the top left corner and a slight bruise to the lower right cover.
All other corners and all top-opening edges are clean and sharp with no bumps, tears or 'feathering'.
The rear panel and inside of the gatefold is 'as new' with no visible signs of wear.
The spine's laminate is 100% intact with no splits and all the wording is perfect and readable.
You will not be disappointed.
Photos: MINT
Spacer: EXCELLENT MINUS: Some light creasing only.
Poster: EXCELLENT: No tears, splits or pin-holes.
Black inners: EXCELLENT: No seam splits.
