CONDITION
Disc
Labels: MINT
A perfect pair with no trace of any spindle trails or wear to or around either centre hole.
Visual: NEAR MINT
Pristine deep-gloss paying surfaces which apart from two extremely light 1cm surface scuffs on side 1 are unmarked and 'as new' in strong daylight. Even closer inspection directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp fails to reveal anything more than a sparkling rainbow shine. Both sides lie 100% flat on the turntable when playing.
Sound Quality: NEAR MINT
The disc shows no visual signs of ever having been played and my single careful play-check at volume found the sound quality to be flawless throughout. There is just a normal hint of low-level vinyl background, but no crackle, clicks or any other audible distraction to spoil this wonderful recording.
Cover: EXCELLENT
A clean & firm example which displays light storage/age wear without any significant or major faults. The laminated front panel is unscratched & unworn and free from any 'thumbnails' or creasing. There is light wear to the corner tips and a few small 'pushes' to the opening edges, but no tears or feathering. The rear panel has minor foxing with the original retailer's sticker & an 'MT' purchase tax code sticker.
Both seams are smooth & unstressed & the spine is clearly & fully worded.
Inner-sleeve: VERY GOOD +
Minor storage wrinkles but no writing, tears or seam splits.
