All Labels: EXCELLENT
Visual: Sides 1, 2 & 3: EXCELLENT + Side 4: EXCELLENT
All surfaces are extremely clean and retain their original deep-gloss shines. Apart from some faint inner-sleeve storage marks on side 4, all are totally unmarked in daylight with no scuff or scratches. Careful innspection under halogen light reavel just a a few, barely visible paper hairlines but no other marks or wear at all.
Audio: EXCELLENT
A superb sounding copy which has received just careful play on good quality equipment. The sound is clean & clear throughout without no groovewear distortion or background crackle - even on the quieter tracks. All runs-ins, bands, loud & quiet passages play without interference and there are no clicks, pops or any other significant or major audible wear anywhere.
Cover: EXCELLENT
An extremely clean & strong example which retains a good 'whiteness' with no toning anywhere. The front retains clean & glossy with just 3 small 'cracks' to the laminate towards the front top-opening edge, but no creasing or 'thumbnails' anywhere. The corners are clean with just minor shelfwear bruising and there are no tears to the top-opening edges. The inside is pristine and has clearly not been opened in many years. The spine's laminate has some small areas of splitting but all the text is clear, clean & readable.
Inners: EXCELLENT/VERY GOOD
Small tear to the centre hold of one.
Poster: VERY GOOD +
No tears or other major faults.
Photos: MINT
