CONDITION
Labels: NEAR MINT
A superb set showing just a couple of tiny faint spindle trails around the side 2 centre hole.
Disc
Visual: NEAR MINT
Flawless deep-gloss playing surfaces which are unmarked and 'as new' in strong daylight.
Examination directly beneath halogen light reveals nothing more than a few barely visible wispy paper hairlines from the inner & a sparkling rainbow shine.
Audio: MINT
Played once or twice only, the sound quality on this superbly preserved copy is flawless & wonderful throughout.
Cover: NEAR MINT
Rarely seen in this condition, this beautiful example looks like it left the shops last week, let alone 56 years ago!
The totally unworn front panel retains a perfect high-gloss finish with no 'thumbnail' wrinkles or even a single spine bend.
All corners are in great shape with no bumps or bruising to any and the opening edges are clean & undamaged.
The exposed rear panel is clean & white with just a hint of toning towards the opening edges.
All flipbacks, seams & spine are unworn.
This is your final upgrade.
