CONDITION
Disc
Labels: NEAR MINT
A beautiful unworn & unblemished pair with, as you can see, no spindle trails or marks around either centre hole.
Visual: EXCELLENT +
Extremely clean & bright playing surface which retain all of their 'as new' deep-gloss shine. A few harmless inner-sleeve removal marks are present in strong daylight, but certainly no scratches or any significant surface marks. Close examination directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp reveals nothing more than a healthy sparkling rainbow shine and a small number of harmless wispy inner-sleeve removal hairlines. Both sides of this superb copy lit 100% flat on the turntable when playing.
Play: NEAR MINT
This record plays 'as new'. The sound is incredible and flawless from beginning to end. You really couldn't hope for a better sounding early stereo copy of this amazing album which you will never need to upgrade.Cover
EXCELLENT +
A very impressive example of this fragile and easily worn cover. This 1st-class example has been careful stored in a non-smoking environment and displays only very minor storagewear and certainly no major faults. The front panel is perfectly clean and retains an unscratched and unrubbed high-gloss laminate showing just a few tiny spine wrinkles but no 'thumbnails' towards the opening edge. All corners are in great shape with no rubbing, bumps or bruising to any. Both opening edges too are sharp and unworn. The rear panel is overall clean & white with the only blemish being a few faint age-spots towards the lower part and a small folded over edge in the lower right corner flipback. The others however are fully intact and totally undamaged. Both seams are smooth with no flaking or stresses and the spine is perfectly worded & completely unworn. Tough to find a better example thank this.
Inner-sleeve
EXCELLENT
Clean & flat with a few light storage wrinkles, but no writing, tears or seam splits.
