CONDITION
Disc
Labels: MINT
Perfect - no spindle marks to either centre hole or any other traces of wear.
Visual: EXCELLENT +
Both playing surfaces are unmarked & 'as new' in strong daylight but some insignificant light paper hairlines are visible (mostly on side 2) directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp, but these do not affect sound or play.
Play: EXCELLENT +
This outstanding copy has been barely played and my single careful play check found little more than a hint of background on the opening track but no other significant or major faults throughout.
Cover
NEAR MINT
A magnificent example with a pristine undamaged front panel laminate which bears no creasing, spine bends or even any 'thumbnail' wrinkles. All corners are perfectly sharp & square with no bumps or bruising to any. Both opening edges are 'as new', unworn & appear untouched. The rear panel is just a fine with the only sign of wear being a small bubble in the laminate in the lower right corner. Both seams and the superb square spine are all smooth, unstressed and unsplit. Very hard to find a better example than this.
Poster
MINT
Unhung & 'as new'.
Inner-sleeve
NEAR MINT
Clean & white with just a touch of unavoidable storage wrinkling but no writing, tears or splits.
