CONDITION

DISC

Labels: MINT -

A superb set showing just one or two extremely faint spindle trails around each completely unworn centre hole.

Visual: EXCELLENT +

Superb deep-gloss, factory-fresh playing surfaces which appear 'as new' in strong daylight. Apart from small 1cm mark on track 4 on side 2, there are no further visible blemishes, even directly beneath halogen light.

Audio: EXCELLENT +

Played just a few times on good equipment, the sound quality throughout is warm & clear. A hint of regular vinyl background is audible on the run-ins and between tracks, but the aforementioned mark on track 4 isn't. The warmth and presence of the early stampers shines through making it a highly enjoyable and satisfying listen.

Cover: EXCELLENT +

Carefully & correctly stored in a non-smoking environment these past 54 years, this very fine example retains a clean & totally unscratched high-gloss front panel laminate where the only trace of wear are two 'thumbnail' wrinkles towards the front opening edge. There is very slight bruising to the lower corners only, but very little evidence of use elsewhere. The exposed rear panel is pristine white and 'as new' with clean undamaged flipbacks, smooth seams and a perfectly worded spine.

Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT +

Clean & flat with no writing, tears or seam splits.
