Condition:
Beautiful condition. The disc is NEAR MINT. Very glossy with a deep-sheen, no marks visible in both good natural light and strong halogen spotlight. The disc sits completely flat on the turntable. The audio is also NEAR MINT! The full album has been play-graded and it plays with that same full 1st press punchy sound. The run-ins on both sides are nice and quiet, the space between tracks is super-quiet and and soft passages also play without interference or issue. No repeat clicks, loud obtrusive pops and of course no skips or sticks. The labels have a name on one side and are otherwise clean and unworn. The sleeve is NEAR MINT. Super-glossy, no ring wear, sharp edges and spine without wear, clean back with no writing, stains, scuffs or splits. Very nice! The original tracing paper Emitex inner sleeve is clean and unsplit. Thank you.
