CONDITION

Slipcase: NEAR MINT

A truly outstanding piece which appears here in virtually the same condition as it left the shops almost exactly 41 years ago.




Having been barely touch and carefully stored over the years almost every aspect is unworn and 'as new'.




Both front AND rear panels are perfectly clean & glossy with no creases, 'thumbnails' or wrinkles of any kind to the high-gloss laminate.




There is a faint scratch to the laminate on the upper edge but no other marks or wear.
Each corner is unbumped and undamaged and all of the exposed opening edges are perfectly sharp and completely unworn.


 

Outer Tray: NEAR MINT

One of the most easily and frequently worn components is presented here in near perfect condition. Both of the fold-over flaps are unrubbed and uncreased and even the exposed outer edges are completely free from the usual rubbing or wear. Remember, this is an original and NOT a reproduction and no part has been restored or repaired in any way.

Inner Tray: EXCELLENT +

This fragile component has survived the fully intact and remains completely, in-shape and uncrushed. There is just a faint bend to one of the large inner flaps and tiny stress tears to two of the inner corners. Apart form those extremely minor blemishes, it's hard to fault and tough to upgrade.

Book: MINT

A perfect unread example of this lavish publication with no wear to front or rear cover and no loose or missing pages inside.

Disc

Matrices: YEX 773-2U & YEX 774-3U
Stamper codes: 1/TG & 2,4/GRP
Vinyl weight: 140g

Labels: EXCELLENT +

A superb pair with just a small handful of light spindle trails around each unworn centre hole. The only significant blemish is a tiny section of missing paper around the edge of the side 2 label.

Visual: EXCELLENT +

Both surfaces retain all of their 'as new' deep-gloss shines with just two of three faint hairline marks visible in strong daylight. Closer inspection directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp reveals little more than a sparkling rainbow shine but no further blemishes or wear. Both sides of this tremendous disc lie 100% flat on the turntable when playing.

Audio:NEAR MINT

Played just a few times on top-quality equipment the sound is totally unworn and wonderful throughout.

Cover:NEAR MINT

A flawless high-gloss example which displays no 'thumbnails', wrinkles or storage rubbing to either front or rear panels. In fact the only noticeable trace of wear on the entire cover is a tiny shelfwear rub to the lower left corner. Tough to find a better example. The rear panel is unworn and both seams and the spine are smooth, unstressed and undamaged.

Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT

Crisp & white with minor storage wrinkles but no writing, tears or seam splits.
