Visual
Disc 1: VERY GOOD
Disc 1 bears general surface wear with a number of light hairlines in strong daylight, none of which are deep of feelable
Disc 2: GOOD
In addition to the general surface wear similar to that of disc 1, this disc has some heavy scuff marks along with a few feelable scratches
Sound quality of both discs: VERY GOOD
Both discs play through without any major faults. Some light background is audible on some quieter passages and there are some audible clicks in various places. However, there are no jumps or repeats on either of these rare discs
