CONDITION

Disc

Labels: NEAR MINT

Both labels are clean & unblemished showing just a small handful of barely visible spindle trails around each totally unworn centre hole.

Visual: Side 1: NEAR MINT Side 2: EXCELLENT

Side 1 of this disc is 'as new' and unmarked in strong daylight with only a few wispy paper hairlines & a sparkling rainbow shine beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp. Side 2 is downgraded due only to some patternation from the inner-sleeve which does NOT affect the sound quality in any way. It would otherwise be NEAR MINT. Both sides lie 100% flat on the turntable when playing.

Sound Quality: NEAR MINT

This wonderful sounding copy has received just a small handful of plays on top-quality equipment and the entire album is free from any groove/playwear, crackle or background noise or interference of any kind. In fact the only audible distraction which caught my ear during my single careful play-check was a single 'pop' on the introduction to the 1st track on side 1. Apart from that, it is flawless.

Cover: EXCELLENT +

Such a hard job to find this fragile cover in anything approaching close to this state, but this example has been carefully stored in a case and has remained virtually untouched since purchase.

The easily worn unlaminated outer panels are clean & unworn with no trace of any storagewear rubbing front or rear. There is just a hint of rubbing to the extremities of the right corners and rear opening edge, but no 'thumbnail' wrinkles or even a single spine bend.

This inside of the gatefold is clean & unmarked.

 

The spine is in perfect shape with no rubbing, fading or wear of any kind and all of the text is unworn.

Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT

Clean & flat with just slight age-toning but otherwise unworn
