CONDITION
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT +
A clean & undamaged set with just a small collection of spindle trails around each unworn centre hole.
Visual: EXCELLENT +
Immaculate, deep-gloss playing surfaces which are unmarked & 'as new' when viewed in strong daylight. Close examination directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp reveals little more than some harmless wispy paper-type hairlines but no scuffs, marks or scratches anywhere.
Play: EXCELLENT +
Without doubt, this is the best sounding source for both of these songs, surpassing the weaker album versions in every way. The audio on this copy is clean, clear and totally unworn with no traces of any groove/playwear on either side. You won't be disappointed with the sound on this well-looked after copy.
Sleeve
EXCELLENT
A fine example of this early-type with just a little unavoidable storage creasing but no writing, seams splits or tears The disc's catalogue number is written in pencil in the rear upper left corner and can be erased if desired.
**PLEASE NOTE: This item is located and will be shipped from AUSTRIA. 1st class international postage to UK addresses will be 4.00 GBP**
