Audio: Disc 1 Near Mint Disc 2 NEAR MINT
So hard to find a top copy of this LP and I have listened to the entire LP at volume for this audio report.
The run-ins to all sides play silently with no background crackle on or between any tracks. There are no clicks, pops, jumps or hiss anywhere.
Unlikely to surface here again in such fine condition.
Cover: EXCELLENT PLUS / NEAR MINT
Very strong & clean 'thick' card, Very Slighlty yellowed example which retains an excellent 'whiteness'.
Both front & rear panel laminates are pristine, unscratched and undamaged; with no pitting, indentations or creasing anywhere.
There is a tiny, faint spot on the front panel but this is under the laminate.
There is slight bruising to the lower corners but the upper corners and top opening edges are clean, sharp & undamaged.
The inside of the gatefold is in perfect condition.
The spine laminate is all present, clean & readable.
Hard to find a cleaner example.
