CONDITION
Labels: NEAR MINT
A perfect unworn & unmarked set with one or two tiny marks around each unworn centre hole.
Visual: NEAR MINT
Both playing surfaces are in 'factory-fresh' condition with no visible marks or wear in strong daylight. Careful examination directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp detected a few barely visible sleeve removal marks but no other visual blemishes or wear whatsoever. Both sides of this immaculate copy lie 100% flat on the turntable when playing
Play: NEAR MINT
Played no more than once or twice, the sound throughout both tracks is flawless.
Cover
EXCELLENT
Clean & crisp with just touch of lightstoragewear but no writing, splits or tears.
