CONDITION
Disc
Labels: NEAR MINT
A pristine pair bearing just 2/3 faint spindle trails to the side 1 centre hole only.
Visual: NEAR MINT
Immaculate deep-gloss playing surfaces with only a few faint sleeve removal hairlines on side 2, and little more than a sparkling rainbow shine beneath my halogen desk lamp. Tough to upgrade this beauty.
Sound Quality: MINT
Totally flawless and unbeatable sound quality throughout.
Cover: EXCELLENT
A highly respectable example of this easily blemished cover which retains a sparkling high-gloss front panel laminate with just a faint wrinkle down Steve's right lapel, but no 'thumbnails' or any other signs of wear
All corners are in excellent shape & both opening edges are undamaged. The rear panel is clean and free from any major blemishes.
Both seams are smooth & unstressed and the spine is fully worded.
Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT
Clean & uncreased with some age-toning, but no writing, tears or seam splits
