CONDITION
Labels: MINT
A perfect pair with no wear to or around either centre hole.
Disc
Visual: NEAR MINT
Flawless deep-gloss playing surfaces which are unmarked and 'as new' in strong daylight.
Close inspection directly beneath halogen light reveals nothing more than a few wispy marks from the inner-sleeve & a sparkling rainbow shine.
Audio: MINT
Played once or twice only, the sound quality on this superbly preserved copy is flawless & wonderful throughout.
Cover: MINT
A truly remarkable example which looks like it left the shops last week rather than 55 years ago!
The front panel is pristine with no wear or any kind to its high-gloss laminate and no 'thumbnails' or spine bends.
It's only flaw is a tiny bruise to the upper left corner which we feel is not sufficient to downgrade.
The rear panel is totally flawless with no trace of age to any part.
All flipbacks are intact and both seams & spine are unworn.
You will not find a better example.
Inner-sleeve: NEAR MINT
Some wrinkling from storage, but otherwise 'as new'.
