CONDITION
Disc
Labels: NEAR MINT
An immaculate set with just single faint spindle trail around the side 1 centre hole and two or three small ones on 2.
Visual: NEAR MINT
Pristine 'factory-fresh' playing surfaces which are completely unmarked in strong daylight with just a few barely visible wispy paper hairlines directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp.
Sound Quality: NEAR MINT
Played once or twice on high-end equipment for review purposes only, all tracks sound clean, full and clear with no trace of any groove/playwear distortion. In fact, apart from a hint of low-level normal vinyl background between tracks, my single careful play-check found nothing to fault.
Cover: EXCELLENT
Clean & fully intact with no splits or damage to either fold-over flap. Both front & rear panels are free from any rubbing or ringwear and apart from slight bruising to the corners, this is little to fault overall.
Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT +
Clean & flat with no creases or any stresses or splits to any seam.
Booklet: EXCELLENT +
Fully intact and uncreased with a touch of rust to the staples inside, but no loose or damaged pages.
