CONDITION
Disc
Labels: MINT
All are perfect with no spindle marks or wear to ir around any centre hole.
Visual: NEAR MINT
Immaculate deep-gloss playing surfaces which are 'as new' and unmarked in strong daylight with just a few barely visible wispy paper hairlines directly beneath my unforgiving desk lamp. All sides of this archive copy lie 100% flat on the turntable when playing.
Sound Quality: MINT
Both discs are unplayed and audibly flawless.
Cover: EXCELLENT +
A strong and clean example with just a touch of storage but no significant or major faults throughout. There are two or three tiny bumps to the opening edge but all corners are clean with no heavy bumps or bruising to any. The easily blemished white rear panel is pristine and all seams are smooth, unstressed & unsplit.
The inside of the gatefold is in perfect condition.
The spine is clean & fully worded.
Inner-sleeves: NEAR MINT
