CONDITION
Outer Slipcase: NEAR MINT
This outstanding example looks like it left the store this morning, let alone 40 years ago. Both panels are perfectly clean & glossy with the only flaw being a faint wrinkle in the lower right corner of the front panel. The rear panel is easily its equal bearing just a few unavoidable storage scratches but nothing significant to detract from its beauty. All of the exposed outer edges are perfect sharp and totally unworn with no 'pushes', feathering, let alone any tears or missing paper or laminate. You will nto find a better example of this.
Outer Tray: NEAR MINT
An amazing 'as new' example, just as it left the factory. It looks so good you may think it is a reproduction, but it isn't. Apart from a touch of storage rubbing and a faint 'thumbnail' bend on the rear , there is nothing more to fault.
Inner Tray: NEAR MINT
An immaculate example of this, the most fragile of the set's components. Everything about it is 'as new'. Being harsh, there is a tiny stress to one corner where the book sat, but this is as good as it gets.
Book: EXCELLENT +
This unread copy retains an unscratched front cover, free from any creasing or wrinkles. Inside is MINT with every page fully intact - none loose or missing. I would have graded the entire book MINT if it were not for two tiny pieces of tape applied to the end of each end of the spine to repair a tiny split there.
LP CONDITION
Labels: NEAR MINT
A rich & vibrant pair with no more than a small handful spindle trails around each unworn centre hole.
Visual: NEAR MINT
Both playing surfaces are 'as new'/unmarked in strong daylight with only a few barely visible wispy paper hairlines directly beneath my unforgiving halogen desk lamp.
Play: NEAR MINT
Played only a handful of times on top-quality equipment only, this copy plays flawlessly throughout with no audible faults or wear.
Cover: NEAR MINT
A superb clean, glossy and unworn example which retains all of its high-gloss finish with no rubbing or scratching to the laminate. There is a thin line of laminate lift along the upper edge but no 'thumbnails' on the front panel. There is a small bend on the rear panel near the spine which can be seen on the above right images. However, all corners are sharp and unbruised and both opening edges are completely unworn.
Inner-sleeve: NEAR MINT
Clean & white with just an unavoidable faint disc impression but otherwise 'as new'.
**PLEASE NOTE: This item is located in and will be shipped from AUSTRIA. 1st class international postage to UK addresses will be 15 GBP**
