CONDITION
Disc
Labels: NEAR MINT
A superb set with just two faint well-aimed spindle trails around each completely unworn centre hole.
Visual: EXCELLENT +
Both playing surface are extremely clean and retain all of their 'as new' deep-gloss shine. There are a few harmless inner-sleeve removal lines on each side and a single surface scuff which measures 1 cm and is non-feelable. There are no scratches anywhere. Closer inspection directly beneath my unforgiving halogen desk lamp reveals just a sparkling rainbow shine and no additional blemishes or wear.
Play: NEAR MINT
This disc has clearly been barely played and the sound throughout is perfectly clean clan & unworn. My single play-check at volume found no trace of any groove/play wear on any track. In fact, the only thing keeping it form a straight MINT audio grade are a few light ticks on the approaching train noise at the end of side 1. Otherwise, this is a flawless sound copy which will not disappoint.
Cover: EXCELLENT
A highly respectable example with a clean & bright high-gloss front panel which apart from a little disc impression from storage displays no significant or major signs of wear. There is slight bruising to the upper left corner but no wear whatsoever to the other or to either opening edge. There is a small blemish towards the rear edge on the otherwise pristine rear panel. All flipbacks are clean & intact and both seams & the spine are unstressed, unsplit and unworn.
Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT
Clean & flat with an inevitable faint disc impression but no tears or seam splits.
