Labels: NEAR MINT
A pristine pair bearing just a single meandering spindle trail around each unworn centre hole.
Visual: EXCELLENT +
Clean deep-gloss playing surfaces which apart from a single 2cm non-feelable scuff are 'as new' in strong daylight. Closer inspection directly beneath halogen light reveals only a few harmless wispy marks from the inner-sleeve. A tough one to upgrade.
Audio: NEAR MINT
Played just no more than once or twice on high-end equipment only, all tracks on this gem play flawlessly. Our play-check found with no trace of any crackle or groovewear on any track or in either channel on any song. The only detected was a single soft tick on 'Girl'. You will struggle to find a better sounding copy of this short-lived cutting.
Cover: EXCELLENT +
A strong & clean example which has been carefully and correctly stored these past 52 years. The front panel retains an immaculate unworn high-gloss laminate free from any scratches or 'thumbnail' or spine wrinkles. Some handling wear to the opening edge prevents it from being 'Near Mint' but all corners are sharp and unbumped. The rear panel is white and unyellowed with just some faint fingermarks to the opening edge. All flipbacks are perfect and both seams and the spine are smooth & unworn.
Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT +
Clean & crisp with some gentle storage wrinkles but no writing, tears or seam splits.
