All corners are in fine shape with just some light bruising to the lower two. The top opening edge is clean and sharp and unworn with no tears.
The rear panel bears the small 'stereo' logo and is again clean, unmarked and glossy. The inside gatefold is perfect.
There is an area of discolouration towards and on spine, and the laminate has partially split but all the text is clean, undamaged and readable.

Discs


Disc 1

Labels: NEAR MINT

Visual: NEAR MINT

Pristine surfaces with just a light non-feelable/audible lazy spindle mark which strays into the run-out and over the last track on side 1.
Side 2 is perfect - even under a halogen desk lamp and the disc lies 100% flat on the turntable with no dishing or warping.

Audio: NEAR MINT

Just a few soft 'ticks' on the run-ins, but otherwise everything is perfect without crackle, groovewear or any other audible wear.

Disc 2

Labels: NEAR MINT

Visual: EXCELLENT

Super bright and clean surfaces bearing just one light surface mark to each side. Again 100% flat on the turntable with no dishing or warping.

Extremely hard to find any audible fault with this disc. It's flawless and sounds as good as new.

Photos: NEAR MINT

Spacer: EXCELLENT

Black inners: EXCELLENT

No splits or tears.
