CONDITION

Disc

Labels: MINT

A perfect pair with no spindle marks or wear to, or around either centre hole.

Visual: NEAR MINT

Pristine, unmarked playing surfaces in strong daylight with just a small number of harmless wispy paper hairlines on close examination directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp.

Play: NEAR MINT

This copy has most likely never been played. My single careful play-check revealed no audible faults or wear throughout.

Cover

NEAR MINT

A pristine example, which aside from having a misaligned upper edge & a small laminate wrinkle from manufacture, is in virtually the same condition as it left the shops nearly 40 years ago.

**PLEASE NOTE: This item is located in and will be shipped from AUSTRIA. 1st class international postage to UK addresses will be 5 GBP**

Our grading is strict & conservative grading under strong daylight & directly beneath a halogen desk lamp to UK 'RECORD COLLECTOR' standards.

We carefully play every record I sell on an EMT 950 transcription turntable fitted with a 'TSD 15' cartridge at volume and list all visual and audible faults.

Every image in this listing has been taken by ourselves (with a Canon G3 camera) and are of the actual item for sale. We do not copy from other listings or use stock images.

Each record is professionally & securely packaged in custom-made record mailing boxes with the disc removed from the cover.
