Disc
Labels: NEAR MINT
A pristine pair with just two faint spindle trails around each totally unworn centre hole.
Visual: MINT
Pristine deep-gloss playing surfaces which are 'as new'/unmarked in strong daylight AND directly beneath my powerful and unforgiving halogen desk lamp. Not even a wispy paper hairlines in sight and 100% flat on the turntable when playing.
Play: NEAR MINT
This copy came from the collection of an audiophile Austrian collector who played it only to tape directly after purchase. My single careful play-check at volume found the sound quality to be flawless throughout with no audible blemishes or distractions on or between any track. No need to upgrade this one.
Cover: EXCELLENT +
A hard cover to find in anything like this condition, due mainly to its easily worn unlaminated finish. This example has survived remarkably well and has been carefully stored in a clean, non-smoking environment all its life. Both front and rear panel are perfectly unworn and there are no bends or creases anywhere, even to the spine. In fact, apart frim a tiny bump to the lower edge towards the right corner, there is nothing to fault. Both seams and the fully worded spine are all unstressed, unworn and unsplit.
Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT +
Clean & flat with just some unavoidable bleed-through from the glue which attaches the poly-lining inside but no creasing, splits, tears or writing.
**PLEASE NOTE: This item is located in and will be shipped from AUSTRIA. Priority signed for airmail postage to UK addresses will be 7 GBP**
