CONDITION
Disc
Labels: NEAR MINT
An immaculate set with just a single faint mark around each unworn centre hole. The side 2 centre hole even retains a sliver of the silver centre hole marker
Visual: NEAR MINT
Pristine, factory-fresh playing surfaces which are unmarked and 'as new' in strong daylight, with just one or two wispy paper hairlines and a sparkling rainbow shine directly beneath my unforgiving halogen desk lamp. No need to upgrade this.
Sound Quality: MINT
Played once of twice at most on high-end equipment only, this exceptional sounding disc sounds flawless with no trace of wear on any track or in either channel.
Cover: NEAR MINT
This 1st-class example retains a sparkling, vibrant front panel which shines 'as new' with no evidence of storage rubbing or 'thumbnail' wrinkles. All corners are in great shape with no bumps or bruising and all opening edges are sharp & free from any tears or feathering
Both panels inside the gatefold are immaculate and shine the same as the day this cover way purchased. The rear panel is just as glossy as the front but bears a single 'thumbnail' positioned in the lyrics to 'Fixing a Hole' but is otherwise unworn
All seams are smooth, unstressed & unsplit and the spine is unworn with a fully intact/unsplit laminate along its entire length.
Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT
A few light storage wrinkles but no writing, tears or seam splits
Cut-out sheet: MINT
