CONDITION
DISCLabels: MINT-
A pristine pair bearing only a single light spindle trail around the side 1 centre hole and a small handful of fainter ones on side 2.
Visual: EXCELLENT
Clean, deep-glossy playing surfaces which apart from a single light/non-feelable surface mark on side 1 are immaculate in strong daylight. Closer inspection beneath halogen light reveals just a few barely visible marks form the inner-sleeve but no other significant blemishes or wear.
Audio: EXCELLENT +
Played with care just a couple of times on high-end equipment, the sound quality throughout is flawless. There is no trace of any background interference, crackle, groove/playwear (even on the innermost tracks) or any ticks, pops or other such interference on either side. The bass response is warm and deep, especially on the outstanding 'Hey Bulldog'. This well looked-after copy will not disappoint.
Cover: EXCELLENT
A highly respectable example of this easily and frequently blemished cover. The front panel is clean and, like most of these early covers, slightly off-white, but all of the colours are bright and unfaded. The laminate is glossy and unscratched with no 'thumbnail' wrinkles anywhere. The is some bruising to the upper left corner and a touch of rubbing to the tips of the other but no tears or feathering to either opening edge. The exposed rear panel is clean & white where it should be with no writing, marks or missing paper. All flipbacks are fully clean & intact and both seams and the fully worded spine are smooth, unstressed and unsplit.
Clean & flat with moderate spilts to the left and lower seams.
