LABELS: MINT-
Clean, unmarked, factory-fresh labels with one or two light spindle traces per side
VINYL Visual: MINT-
Both surfaces shine like new and are unmarked - looks like the record has only ever been takes out of its sleeve once or twice
VINYL Audio: MINT-
The audio quality to this pressing is outstanding and covers an amazing dynamic range with crystal clear, strong and vibrant audio reproduction (makes me wish I had a quad system to hear this in all its full glory) and my play-check at loud volume found practically nothing to fault - just a little surface on the run-in to Side One - which soon disappears once the music starts - otherwise, flawless - a really wonderful copy with continuous play (the dripping tap) into the Side Two run-off groove
SLEEVE: NEAR MINT
As crisp, clean and fresh an example as you could wish for - practically no wear at all on the edges or spine - all spine text is clear and bold
INNER SLEEVE: MINT-
Again, practically untouched - no seam splits or indeed any signs of handling
