CONDITION
Disc
Labels: MINT
An immaculate pair with no spindle marks or any wear to or around either centre hole.
Visual: NEAR MINT
Pristine, deep-gloss playing surfaces which apart from a few barely visible paper scuffs are unmarked in strong daylight. Closer inspection directly beneath my unforgiving halogen desk lamp reveals little more than a few harmless wispy paper hairlines consistent with the few times this disc has been removed from its inner-sleeve.
Sound Quality: NEAR MINT
This immaculate copy has been barely, if ever been played. Apart from a single soft tick on 'Old Brown Shoe', my play-check found the sound quality to be is flawless throughout.
Cover: NEAR MINT
There is a little rubbing to the corner tips but otherwise this is how this left the store 44 years ago
Inner-sleeve: NEAR MINT
Clean & flat with no tears or seam splits
