CONDITION
Disc
Labels: NEAR MINT
A clean & unblemished set showing just a handful of barely visible spindle trails around each unworn centre hole.
Visual: EXCELLENT +
Super-clean, deep-gloss playing surfaces which display no noticeable marks or wear in strong daylight. Closer inspection directly beneath my unforgiving powerful halogen desk lamp reveals just some barely visible wispy paper hairlines and a single non-feelable 1cm hairline on side 2 which does not affect sound or play in the slightest.
Sound Quality: MINT
This pressing truly lives up to the hype and delivers unmatched sound quality making it the only pressing of this album you will ever need to own. This copy plays has been barely played on top-quality equipment and my careful play-check detected no audible faults or wear throughout. You will not be disappointed.
Cover: VERY GOOD
Some moderate age/storagewear with no major faults.
Both seams and the spine are unworn and unsplit.
