CONDITION
Disc
Labels: NEAR MINT
A pristine pair with just a single tiny spindle mark around each completely unworn centre hole.
Visual: EXCELLENT
Immaculate deep-gloss playing surfaces which are free from any surface marks or wear in strong daylight and reveal just some harmless wispy inner-sleeve removal hairlines directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp.
Play: NEAR MINT
Played no more than once by its original owner (who transferred it directly to tape) the sound quality is clean, warm and fresh throughout. Apart from a few faint ticks at on the beginning of 'Oh My Love' the entire album plays flawlessly without any audible faults or wear.
Cover: EXCELLENT
A clean, strong & unworn example which apart form a hint of storagewear is essentially 'as new' throughout. The front panel is clean & glossy with no 'thumbnail' wrinkles or even any spine bends. All corners are sharp and unworn and both opening edges are damage-free. The small marks in the middle of each edge are crop markings for the printers and not damage. Both seams and the spine are smooth, unstressed & unsplit.
Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT
Clean & bright with just a faint, inevitable disc impression but no yellowing, writing, tears or seam splits.
Poster: MINT
Un-hung & factory-folded.
Postcard: MINT
