Disc
Labels: NEAR MINT
A superb set with no spindle marks around either centre hole.
Visual: NEAR MINT
Pristine, deep-gloss playing surfaces which are 'as new' and unmarked in strong daylight. Even closer examination directly beneath my unforgiving halogen desk lamp fails to reveal anything more than a few harmless wispy paper hairlines.
Sound Quality: MINT
Spectacular & flawless sound quality from this exquisite copy, unmatched by any other pressing on any format. My single careful play-check found absolutely no evidence of any groove/playwear distortion or indeed any other trace of audible wear.
Cover: EXCELLENT
A respectable example where the front panel has yellowed but the high-gloss laminate is unscratched and unworn. There is no damage or wear to any corner and despite a little curling to the front, both opening edges are totally unworn. The rear panel is pristine and all seams are smooth and fully intact.
