Condition

Disc: Labels/side 1 EXCELLENT side 2 EXCELLENT PLUS.

Apart from some minor fading to the print on side 1, both are bright & clean with no touch-up, writing or missing paper. 

Visual: EXCELLENT PLUS. This well looked after copy retains all its deep gloss shine on both surfaces without any dull patches or "bag rash" visible.
The disc's only significant marks are a single, non-feelable 1.5 cm light scratch on side 1 and two faint fingernail marks on side 2.
Close inspection, directly beneath a halogen desk lamp, reveals nothing further than its "just pressed" rainbow shine and a few wispy hairlines.

Audio: EXCELLENT. This disc has received some careful play. All  tracks play without major deterioration to the sound quality. Some occasional light background noise is audible, but there are no clicks, jumps, repeats nor any other significant or major audible faults. Apart from a 5 revolutions soft 'tick' in the band between tracks 6 & 7 on side 1, all play extremely quietly and without interference.

Cover: EXCELLENT. This impressive, early example is still strong & clean, with a bright front panel which bears just a few light scratches, but no major faults. There is some minor shelfwear to the lower corners, but no splits or significant damage to any. Both opening edges are sharp & clean with no tears or feathering. The rear is clean & white with no significant marking, nor any writing or missing paper. All the delicate flipbacks are intact and both seams & the spine are unspoilt.

Inner Sleeve: EXCELLENT. Crisp, clean and undamaged.
