CONDITION:
Disc Labels: NEAR MINT
A spectacular, richly colored and clean set with no spindle trails around both completely unworn center holes.
Playing Surfaces, Visual: NEAR MINT
Pristine deep-gloss playing surfaces which are unmarked and 'as new'.
Sound Quality: EXCELLENT +
This superb sounding disc is clean, warm & clear throughout and totally free from any traces of groove/playwear. My single careful play-check at volume detected no clicks, pops, ticks or any other audible distraction of any kind. Only a touch of low-level static background in the quietest passages holds this from NM.
Cover: EXCELLENT
A clean & nice example of this fragile sleeve with only slight signs of shelf wear, including a negligible crease to the upper seam at the upper-left corner. The other corners are solid and strong. The laminate and soft card stock has a 1” opening at the spine produced from the heavy weight disc coming in contact while inside.
Inner: VERY GOOD +
Clean & flat with slight splitting to the left (1 ½”) and right (3 ½”) sides, but no writing or tears to this extremely fragile sleeve.
Poster: EXCELLENT
Clean & flat with some light traces of handling, but no writing, seam splits, or tears. No signs of being hung.
