CONDITION
Disc
Labels: NEAR MINT
A superb unworn set showing just two tiny spindle trails around each completely unworn centre hole.
Visual: NEAR MINT
Pristine, factory-fresh deep-gloss playing surfaces which are totally 'as new' and unmarked in strong daylight. Even close examination directly beneath my unforgiving halogen desk lamp reveals nothing more than some harmless wispy paper hairlines consistent with the once or twice this disc has been removed from its inner-sleeve. You will not find a cleaner copy of this pressing.
Sound Quality: MINT
Simply flawless & wonderful sound quality throughout.
Cover: EXCELLENT +
This exceptional example of this fragile cover which retains an immaculate unworn/unscratched high-gloss front laminate, free from any 'thumbnails', ringwear or any other trace of storage. All corners are in great shape with just a small bruise visible only from the back on the upper left corner. Both opening edges are sharp, clean & undamaged. The exposed rear panel is clean overall with some faint aged fingermarks towards the mouth but no other significant blemishes or wear. All flipbacks are clean & unworn and both seams are smooth and unstressed.
The spine is slightly pinched on the text but is otherwise clean & undamaged
Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT
Clean & flat with a mild age-toning & gentle storage wrinkling only
