Disc
Labels: NEAR MINT
A pristine pair with just a single faint spindle trail around the side 1 centre hole only
Visual: NEAR MINT
Immaculate unworn playing surfaces which retain all of their factory shine with no scuffs or scratches either side. Apart from some harmless wispy inner-sleeve removal marks beneath halogen light, there is nothing more to fault here
Sound Quality: EXCELLENT +
This copy has clearly received very little play and all tracks play without trace of groove/playwear distortion. My play-check detected a little light background on the opening track and in the bands between tracks, but I feel that this is a pressing issue rather than one of wear. There are no clicks, pops or any other audible distractions throughout, even on the delicate orchestral side
Cover: EXCELLENT +
A fine example which retains a vibrant high-gloss front panel bearing just a single 'thumbnail' wrinkle, but little else in the way of wear
There is slight bruising to the corner tips but no significant wear to either of the opening edges
The easily blemished rear panel is clean & unmarked and all flipbacks are in-place & fully intact
Both seams are unstressed and unsplit and the spine is unworn & fully worded
Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT
Clean & flat with small 2cm splits to one side and the lower seam, but no damage or wear to the front circular window
