CONDITION

Disc

Labels: NEAR MINT

An immaculate set with no more than two or three faint spindle trails around each unworn centre hole.

Visual: 1. EXCELLENT +  2. EXCELLENT

Both playing surfaces of this superb copy shine 'as new' with all of their deep-gloss finish fully intact. Careful inspection in strong daylight found just two light fingernail scuff lines towards the edge of side 2 but no signs of wear on side 1 or elsewhere. Close examination directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp reveals little more than a sparkling rainbow gloss and a few insignificant wispy inner-sleeve removal hairlines but no scratches or any other visual blemishes. Both sides of this great disc lie 100% flat on the turntable when playing, with no traces of dishing or warping.

Play: EXCELLENT +

This copy has clearly been barely played and the sound throughout my careful play-check at volume was a joy. I heard no evidence of any groove/play wear to any part or any clicks, pops, ticks or other such distraction. If I was being harsh, I'd say there is a hint of light background during some of the quieter passages - but this does not, in my opinion, spoil a very satisfying and enjoyable listening experience.

Cover

EXCELLENT +

A top-class example with a pristine, unscratched laminate where the only blemish is a single 'thumbnail' wrinkle towards the front opening edge. There is a small bruise in the uper left corner but all others are perfectly sharp & square. Both opening edges are also sharp and clean with very little evidence of any type of wear. The rear panel is as fine as the front and is without any significant signs of wear. Both seams and the fully worded spine are all smooth, unstressed and completely unworn.

Inner-sleeve

EXCELLENT

Clean & flat with some light handling wrinkles but no writing, tears or any seams splits.
