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 and just two or three on label 3 but none on 4.

Both Discs Visual: MINT

Remarkably all sides are in pristine factory-fresh condition and totally unmarked both in strong daylight AND directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp. You will not find a better set.

Sound Quality of BOTH discs: NEAR MINT

Played less than a handful of times on quality equipment, every track plays cleanly & clearly with no crackle or groovewear. My playcheck detected a trace of normal low-level vinyl background between tracks and in some of the quieter passages, but no clicks, pops or any other audible distractions of any kind

Cover: VERY GOOD

A respectable example which could easily be upgraded to match the quality of the discs. The cover is evenly coloured throughout with a glossy all-round laminate bearing light storage rubbing & faint disc impression. There is a small area of damage to the front top-opening edge where it appears a sticker was removed, but there is no major wear to the other edges or corners.

Both panels inside of the gatefold are unworn. The rear panel is as clean as the front, with a bold stereo indicator

There is a 6cm split to the central part of the spine but the wording is covered & readable

Poster: NEAR MINT

Unhung & still factory-folded

Inner-sleeves: GOOD & VERY GOOD +

Both are present but one has a large tear to the centre window. There are no seams splits to either

Photos & Poster: MINT
