CONDITION
Disc
Labels: NEAR MINT
An immaculate clean & vibrant set with no more than two faint spindle trails around each completely unworn centre hole.
Visual: NEAR MINT
Immaculate deep-gloss playing surfaces which are MINT & totally unmarked in strong daylight and reveal just a few barely visible wispy paper hairlines consistent with careful inner-sleeve removal directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp. Both sides of this outstanding copy lie 100% flat on the turntable when playing.
Play: NEAR MINT
This wonderful sounding copy has recieved just one or two careful plays on high-end equipment. The sound quality throughout my single careful play-check at volume was flawless. I detected not a trace of any audible wear or faults on or between any of these amazing songs. This cherished copy will not disappoint.
Cover: EXCELLENT +
Given the matt finish and unlaminated finish, this example is in way above average condition and is definitely one of the best I have held. The easily blemished front panel is clean overall with just a few faint marks in the white area, but nothing significant. There is some minor rubbing towards the left corners but no sign of any damage or wear to any opening edge. The easily worn rear panel is perfectly clean and free from any storage rubbing or any disc impression. the inside of the gatefold is immaculate. The spine is clean, unbent and fully worded and all seams are smooth, unstressed and unsplit.
Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT +
Clean & flat with just a hint of age toning and an inevitable light disc impression but no writing, seam splits or tears.
