CONDITION
All Labels: EXCELLENT +
All are clean & unblemished with a small collection of well-aimed spindle trails around each centre hole.
Visual
Both Discs: EXCELLENT +
Superb clean & unworn playing surfaces which are unmarked in strong daylight with just some harmless wispy marks from the inner-sleeve visible beneath halogen light.
Audio
Both discs: MINT -
Played with care on quality equipment only, all tracks on both discs play clean & clearly with no groove/playwear or any crackle or other interference. Our careful play-check at volume detected no clicks, pops or any such distractions. Tough to find a better sounding copy of this rarity.
Cover: EXCELLENT -
A clean, fully intact cover with minor handling & storagewear only. The front panel, like the rest of the cover, is clean & unblemished with just a single 'thumbnail' wrinkle but the raised wording is fully covered and the unique number is bold and highly readable. There is slight wear to the front opening edge and a tiny 5mm nick to the rear one. Both panels inside are immaculate and the rear panel is unworn. The spine laminate has a small 2cm split midway down but both sets of lettering are covered & readable at both ends.
Poster: EXCELLENT +
Light handling wear only.
Photos: EXCELLENT +
Small corner crease on George.
Photo Spacer Sheet: VERY GOOD
2cm tear near one corner & creasing to the others.
Inner-sleeves: EXCELLENT/EXCELLENT -
Clean & flat with a small tear to one of the top edges and central window. No seam splits on either
