CONDITION
Disc
Discs: NEAR MINT
An exceptional pair with no more that 2/3 tiny spindle trails around each totally unworn centre hole
Visual: NEAR MINT
Immaculate, factory-fresh playing surfaces free from any marks or wear in strong daylight. Even close inspection directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp reveals only a few harmless paper scuffs from inner-sleeve removal. You will not be disappointed with this keeper copy
Sound Quality: NEAR MINT
Played just a few times on quality equipment, this outstanding sounding copy has all of the warmth and clarity expected from such an early pressing. All tracks play flawlessly with just a trace of low-level vinyl background on each run-in worth mentioning. No need to upgrade this beauty
Cover: EXCELLENT +
This outstanding example from a non-smoking environment is one of the best I have offered for some time
There is a touch of storage rubbing and a few small spine wrinkles but no 'thumbnails' or other significant signs of wear
There is a small bruise to the lower right corner but the others are unworn, as are both opening edge
The rear panel is clean, pristine white and totally unblemished and all flipbacks are unworn and in-place
Both seams are smooth and unstressed
The spine is in perfect, unworn condition
Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT
Minor age-toning but otherwise flat and free from any writing, tears or seam splits
