CONDITION
Disc
Labels: NEAR MINT
An immaculate pair with just a single faint spindle trail around each completely unworn centre hole.
Visual: NEAR MINT
Factory-fresh deep-gloss playing surfaces which are totally unmarked in strong daylight. Close examination directly beneath my unforgiving halogen desk lamp revealed just a few barely visible wispy paper hairlines, which I really struggled to find. Both sides of this virtually 'shop-new' disc lie 100% flat on the turntable when playing.
Sound Quality: MINT
Played ONCE only to tape by its original owner, the sound quality from the unsurpassed 1/1 cutting is something special. I could find absolutely no trace of any audible wear on any track or in either channel during my single careful play-check. There are absolutely no ticks, clicks, pops or any trace of background noise on or between any of these amazing tracks. You will not be disappointed.
Cover: NEAR MINT
A truly 1st class example of this striking cover which has been carefully stored in a clean, non-smoking environment these past 45 years. The front panel is clean and white and retains all of its high-gloss laminate with the only trace of wear being a single small 'thumbnail' wrinkle towards the front opening edge. All corners are square and unbumped and both opening edges completely unworn. The rear panel is pristine with no 'thumbnail's or any other signs of wear whatsoever.
There is a little laminate lift along the spine on the front & a smaller section on the rear, but the spine itself is clean, unbent & fully worded.
Both seams are smooth, unstressed and completely unworn.
Inner-sleeve: NEAR MINT
Perfectly clean & flat with just a light storage wrinkle in the lower right corner.
