A immaculate set with spindle marks to either centre hole.
Visual: both MINT
Both playing surfaces are completely unmarked & 'as new' in strong daylight AND directly beneath halogen light. Both sides lie 100% flat when playing, with no dishing or warping.
Play: MINT
From visual evidence, it appears that this copy has not been played. My single careful play check at volume confirmed the sound to be 'as new' and totally unworn with no audible faults or distractions whatsoever. Impossible to upgrade.
Cover
MINT
This cover appears here in the same condition it left the shop 37 years ago. Correctly stored in a non-smoking environment, every aspect of it is 'as new'. Both front & rear panels show no evidence of storage or handling wear and all corners and opening edges are unworn, and perfectly sharp & square. The inside of the gatefold is immaculate and all seams and the perfectly square and fully worded spine are totally unworn & undamaged. The best you will comes across.
