CONDITION
Disc
Labels: NEAR MINT
A superb, unblemished set bearing no more the 2/3 light spindle trails around each unworn centre hole.
Visual: NEAR MINT
Pristine deep-gloss playing surfaces which are 100% 'as new' and totally unmarked strong daylight with just a few barely visible wispy paper hairlines beneath my powerful halogen desk. You will not need to upgrade this beauty.
Sound Quality: NEAR MINT
This archive copy has been barely, if ever played. My playcheck found no evidence of any groove/playwear distortion other such audible distractions. In fact, apart from a touch of low-level vinyl background in some of the quieter passages & between tracks, there is nothing to fault on this superb copy.
Cover: VERY GOOD +
A respectable example of this fragile cover with a clean front panel where the only significant blemish is a small sticker covering a tiny area of missing paper in the upper right corner. There is some light wear to the tips of the corners themselves but no tears or damage to either opening edge. The rear panel has signs of water damage and a smudged 'Teldec Klub Archiv' stamp.
Both seams are unstressed and unsplit and the spine wording is unworn & readable.
Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT
Clean & uncreased with 'Teldec Klub Archiv' stamped on one side.
