CONDITION:

Disc Labels: EXCELLENT +

A clean & bright set with a small number of well-aimed spindle trails around each unworn center hole.

Playing Surfaces, Visual: EXCELLENT +

Extremely clean and unworn playing surfaces which retain all of their 'as new' deep-gloss shine with just a small handful of harmless light inner-sleeve removal marks.  No scratches or any other major blemishes or wear.  All sides of these well looked-after discs lie 100% flat on the turntable when playing.

Sound Quality: EXCELLENT +

This fine sounding copy has received a minimal amount of very careful play on excellent equipment and is without any significant deterioration to the sound or any major faults. My single careful play-check at volume detected a touch of light background on some of the quietest passages but no clicks, pops, ticks or any other audible distractions.

Cover: EXCELLENT

A clean & solid example of this booklet sleeve with no damage and only slight signs of handling.  The three center staple booklet and lyric sheet are firmly bound.  All corners are sharp with minimal rubbing.   

Inners: VERY GOOD

Solid with no seam splits.  One has slight staining and a ¾” tear at the center die-cut hole.
