CONDITION

Discs

All Labels: MINT

Both discs visual: NEAR MINT

All playing surfaces are pristine and free from any scuffs or scratches of any kind and are in fact unmarked in strong daylight. Close examination directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp reveals a few harmless light marks from inner-sleeve storage (on side 4 mainly), but no scuffs, scratches or any other blemishes or wear on this outstanding set.

Both discs play: MINT

Both discs are reportedly UNPLAYED. I performed my usual single careful play-check at volume and am pleased to report that the sound quality was indeed flawless throughout. I did not detect a single click, pop or any other such distraction on or between any song. Difficult to find a better sounding copy.

Cover

EXCELLENT -

A respectable clean & strong example with minimal handling & storagewear and no major faults. The front panel is clean & glossy with just a single  'thumbnail' but the laminate is fully intact over the raised wording and the number is clean & bold. There is minor bruising to the upper corners and a tiny 4mm 'nick' to one of top opening edges. The inside of the gatefold is clean & glossy as is the rear panel which displays a faint disc impression from storage and a bold and intact 'stereo' indicator. There is a 4cm split to the laminate towards the upper end and it is overall discoloured but the writing is still legible. All seams of both pockets are smooth, unstressed and unsplit.

Poster

VERY GOOD +

Unhung with some handling wear but no tears or missing pieces.

Photos

MINT

Photo spacer/protector

EXCELLENT

Clean & flat with just a few light handling wrinkles and one or two faint age-spots.

Inner-sleeves

VERY GOOD -

General wear and tear with the only major fault being tears to both centre hole windows.
