CONDITION
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT
Both are clean & bright with just a minimal amount of light spindle trails to each centre-hole.
Visual: EXCELLENT
Both sides of this disc of this extremely well looked-after disc are extremely clean, glossy & unmarked in strong daylight with no scratches to either side in strong daylight. Close & careful inspection directly under my unforgiving powerful halogen light reveals a sparkling rainbow shine and literally just one or two very light surfaces marks & some insignificant wispy paper hairlines, but no other major marks or wear.
Play: EXCELLENT
This exquisite sounding copy plays has received just careful play on top-quality equipment as my careful play check at volume revealed no significant groove/play wear distortion or any background noise. The sparkling superior mono mix shines clearly and cleanly throughout with no discernable audible faults anywhere. An impressive sounding copy which will not disappoint.
Cover
EXCELLENT
A fine early example with a vivid & vibrant front panel front panel with just two 'thumbnails' towards the opening edge and a very slight 'ripple', but no other significant signs of wear. All corners are in excellent shape with just slight bruising to the left two, but no heavy bumps or rubbing. Both opening edges appear untouched with no discernable wear to any. The inside of the gatefold is perfectly clean & totally undamaged with no marks or writing. The rear panel is also clean & bright with just an unavoidable faint disc impression from storage but no 'thumbnails' or any other major faults.
All seams are unstressed & unsplit and the 'wide' spine is fully laminated, clean & square with no crushing or bends to any area.
Inner-sleeve
EXCELLENT
Clean & flat with just the inevitable light disc impression but no splits, tears or writing.
