CONDITION

Discs

All Labels: MINT

An immaculate set with just a single faint mark to the side 2 & 4 centre hole most likely caused my stacking in the factory rather than from a turntable.

Both discs - visual: NEAR MINT

Without doubt the best I have seen. All playing surfaces are 'factory-fresh' and 100% unmarked in both strong daylight. Close examination directly beneath my unforgiving powerful halogen desk lamp reveals nothing more than a handful of barely visible harmless wispy paper hairlines. Rare to find both discs in this superior condition in one set. Disc 1 has an ever so slight uneven edge, but this does not affect sound or play in any way

Both discs play: MINT

I doubt whether either disc has ever been on a turntable. However, I had to play it in order that you can be sure that what you are getting is totally flawless mono sound without any trace of wear on any track or in either channel. I am happy to confirm that all sides are completely free from any background noise, crackle, clicks, pops or indeed any other audible distraction or sign of wear. You will never find a better sounding copy.

Cover

EXCELLENT

So hard to find a clean, truly white example of this cover - but this example is an exception. All panels inside & out are brilliant white with not a trace of yellowing or discolouration to any area. There are however a few minor faults which stop this being a true 'Near Mint' example. The immaculate front panel has a small bend towards the lower right corner and there is some some light bruising to the other three. The inside is as clean as the front there is a 2cm tear to the upper edge to the left of the spine. The rear panel is perfectly clean & unmarked with no wear at all to its high-gloss laminate finish. The spine is clean and fully laminated with no splitting and all the wording is undamaged and visible. All seams of both pockets are smooth with no flaking laminate and are unstressed and unsplit.

Poster

MINT

Un-opened & un-hung.

Photos

MINT

'As new'.

Photo spacer/protector

NEAR MINT

Clean & flat with just two or three light 'thumbnail' wrinkles.

Inner-sleeves

EXCELLENT

As clean a set as you will find with just some unavoidable light storage creasing to both and slight wear to one seam.
