Visual: NEAR MINT
Both surfaces are pristine & totally unmarked on both sides in strong direct daylight and retain their full deep gloss shines with no clouding or dull areas.
Close inspection directly under a halogen desk lamp reveals just a few insignificant wispy paper/inner-sleeve removal hairlines but no scuffs, marks or scratches whatsoever.
Both sides lie 100% flat on the turntable on both sides with no signs of dishing or warping.
Audio: NEAR MINT
There is little evidence that this disc has ever been played at all. My careful play-check at volume revealed no traces of any crackle, groovewear distortion or indeed any audible wear.
The sound throughout on the music is 'as new'. Even the frequently and esily damaged 'Michelle' plays without any break-up or wear.
Apart from 3 light ticks on the side 2 run-in, all bands play without interference.
Cover: EXCELLENT
A bright & high-gloss front panel bearing just a few tiny 'thumbnails' but no other significant signs of wear.
The corners displa a touch of shelfwear but are otherwise clean and unbumped. Both opening edge appear untouched and have no signs of wear.
The rear panel is pristine clean & bright white with no discolouration, marks, wiriting or missing paper.
All flipbacks are clean & intact and both the seams & the spine are unstressed & unsplit.
Inner: NEAR MINT
Clean, crisp & white with no splits, tears or other significant signs of wear.
