CONDITION
Disc
Labels: MINT
A perfect unmarked and unworn pair with no spindle trails around either centre hole.
Visual: NEAR MINT
Factory-fresh deep-gloss playing surfaces which are unmarked & totally 'as new' in strong daylight with just a few barely visible wispy paper hairlines directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp. You will not find a cleaner copy.
Sound Quality: MINT
Wonderful warm, clean & clear sound quality from this early stereo mix which plays flawlessly throughout.
Cover: NEAR MINT
A remarkable 'time-capsule' example which could have left the shops yesterday, let alone nearly 50 years ago
The front panel is totally unworn and free from any 'thumbnails' or any other traces of wear
All corners and both opening edges are immaculate as is the pristine white rear panel
Both seams are smooth & unstressed and the spine is clean and perfectly worded.
Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT
