CONDITION
Disc
Labels: NEAR MINT
All are perfectly clean & unblemished with just a handful of light spindle trails to the side 1 & side 3 centre holes, but no wear or damage to any. For illustration purposes only one label of each disc is shown
Visual: NEAR MINT
Immaculate, deep-gloss playing surface which are totally MINT/unmarked in strong daylight with just a few barely visible wispy paper hairlines directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp.
Sound Quality: MINT
This copy has been barely, if ever played and the sound is warm, clean & clear throughout with no audible faults or wear of any kind whatsoever.
Cover: NEAR MINT
Such a hard cover to find in this condition. The felt finish is an unfaded deep red colour with no signs of wear whatsoever to the front panel. The rear is just as fine with maybe a hint of a disc impression but certainly nothing significant. All corners are unbumped and all opening edges unworn. All seams and the unworded spine are also in perfect condition. Not many around like this.
Inner-sleeves: EXCELLENT -
There is some toning to the paper and a slight disc impression to each but no writing, splits or tears to either.
- This item is located in and will be shipped from AUSTRIA. Priority signed for airmail postage to UK addresses will be 11.75 GBP**
- Our grading is strict & conservative grading under strong daylight & directly beneath a halogen desk lamp to UK 'RECORD COLLECTOR' standards.
