CONDITION:
Labels: MINT
A pristine set with just one single mark from the factory around the centre hole on disc 1 only, but no trace of any wear to any centre hole.
Visual: MINT -
Factory-fresh, deep-gloss playing surfaces which are 100% unmarked and as new when viewed in strong daylight. Even close and careful examination directly beneath my unforgiving halogen desk lamp reveals nothing more than a few barely visible paper hairlines and a sparkling rainbow shine. All sides also lie 100% flat on the turntable when playing and make this investment-grade set impossible to upgrade from.
Sound Quality: MINT -
Flawless and wonderful sound quality throughout every track on these pristine discs. My single careful play-check at volume found no evidence whatsoever of any groove/play-wear. Not audible clicks, ticks or pop. In fact, apart from the usual low-level vinyl background on the run-ins, this is as good a sounding set as you are likely to come across.
Cover: EXCELLENT +
A superb example of this naughty cover which retains a superb high-gloss laminate inside & out.
The front panel bears just a faint, unavoidable disc impression and a single short laminate ripple. The rear panel is just as glossy with very similar signs of wear. There is slight softening to the corners. The top, bottom and opening edges are all without wear.
Both panels of the inside of the gatefold are perfectly glossy and unworn. Both seams are smooth and unstressed and the unworded spine is fully laminated and unworn along its entire length.
Inner-sleeves: VERY GOOD +
Both are slightly creased with some subtle discolouration to the paper on each. Both are free from any writing, seam splits or tears.
Also included in the sale are two audiophile quality, anti-static inner sleeve to help protect and preserve the fantastic records.This record will be sent via an insured courier in a padded vinyl mailer.
