CONDITION
Disc
Labels: NEAR MINT
A vivid & vibrant set with just a single clumsy spindle trail to the side 1 centre hole only.
Visual: NEAR MINT
Pristine playing surfaces which are totally unmarked & 'as new' in strong daylight. Careful inspection close-up beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp playing surfaces reveals little more than a few harmless wispy paper hairlines no scratches or scuffs anywhere. Both sides of this fine copy lie 100% flat on the turntable when playing with no trace of dishing or warping.
Play: NEAR MINT
This copy has bearly, if ever, been played and my single careful play check at volume could fine no evidence of any audible faults or wear whatsoever - period. You will struggle to find a better sounding copy.
Cover
EXCELLENT +
A top-class example of this lavish cover which retains all of its high-gloss laminate with just a single tiny 'thumbnail' to the front panel but no other creasing or wear. There is a hint of corner bruising but damage or wear to any of the opening edges. Thne inside is immaculate and all seams are smooth and unstressed and the fully worded spine is completely unbent & unworn.
Insert
MINT
Inner-sleeve
EXCELLENT
Flat & undamaged with just a few faint age spots and a crease from storage but no writing, tears or seam splits.
