CONDITION
Disc
Labels: NEAR MINT
A pristine set with no more than three of four well-aimed spindle trails around each completely unworn centre hole indicating just a few careful plays.
Visual: NEAR MINT
Immaculate factory-fresh deep-gloss playing surfaces which are completely unmarked in strong daylight with nothing more than a few barely visible harmless wispy paper hairlines and a sparkling rainbow shine directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp. Both sides of this superb copy lie 100% flat on the turntable when playing.
Sound Quality: NEAR MINT
This outstanding copy has received just a few extremely careful plays on top-quality equipment. My single careful play-check at volume found no trace of any groove/playwear or any background interference. You will struggle to find a better sounding or looking example.
Cover: NEAR MINT
This amazing cover looks like it could have left the shops this morning, let alone 41 years ago. There is absolutely no wear or scratching to its high-gloss laminate and no storagewear, rubbing front or rear. All corners are sharp and unbumped and both opening edges appear untouched. Both seams are smooth, unstressed and unsplit and the spine is unworn and fully worded. No upgrade required here.
Inner-sleeve: NEAR MINT
Flat and unworn with just a hint of natural age-toning to the paper but no writing seam splits or tears.
