CONDITION

Disc

Labels: MINT

A perfect pair with no spindle trails or wear to or around either centre hole.

Visual: EXCELLENT +

Pristine, factory-fresh deep-gloss playing surfaces which are totally unmarked and 'as new' in strong daylight. Close inspection directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp reveals nothing more than some harmless wispy paper hairlines consistent with the few times this disc has been removed from its inner-sleeve. Both sides of this well-looked after copy lie 100% flat on the turntable when playing.

Sound Quality: EXCELLENT +

This copy appears to have been hardly played and the sound quality overall is unworn and free from any groove/playwear distortion. My single careful play-check at volume detected a little light background on the opening track and on some of side 1's other quieter passages, but absolutely no ticks, clicks, jumps or any other audible faults or wear of any kind.

Cover: NEAR MINT

A superb example which retains a perfectly clean, unscratched and unworn high-gloss laminate all-round with no yellowing or any other discolouration to any part. The only traces of wear to the iconic front panel are three small 'thumbnail' wrinkles towards the front opening edge and a handful of tiny wrinkles to the spine. All corners are totally unworn & free from any bumps or bruising to any. Both opening edges are razor-sharp with no 'pushes', feathering or tears.

The rear panel is as clean & glossy as the front with the only blemish being a bend towards the lower right corner but there are no 'thumbnails' or any sign of storage rubbing or ringwear.

The spine is in superb shape; fully laminated & worded along its entire length & retaining its factory pinched ends.

Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT

Clean & flat with a few gentle wrinkles from storage but no writing, tears or seam splits.
