CONDITION
DISC
Labels: EXCELLENT +
Visual: EXCELLENT +
Super-clean, deep-gloss playing surfaces which aside from a light 3cm surface mark on side 1 are unmarked in strong daylight. Close examination directly beneath halogen light reveals a few harmless wispy paper hairlines and a sparkling rainbow shine.
Audio: EXCELLENT +
Little and carefully played on quality equipment only, the sound quality is clean, clear and powerful throughout, with no traces of any playwear or any other significant audible distractions.
Cover: EXCELLENT +A fine example of this easily worn cover which is uncrushed and still in shape with square edges and spine. Both front & rear panel retain a sparkling high-gloss finish with just a hint of storage but no scratches or creasing. There is a touch of wear to the upper corners where the top flap opens but both upper and lower opening flaps themselves are fully intact and undamaged. Both seams are square and unworn with all of the lettering clean, covered and readable. A tough one to upgrade.
Poster: MINT
Factory folded & unhung.
Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT
