CONDITION
Discs
All Labels: MINT
All labels are immaculate with no spindle trails or wear to or around any centre hole.
Visual:
Disc 1 EXCELLENT + Discs 2 & 3: MINT
All playing surfaces are perfectly clean & would all grade MINT but for some light inner-sleeve removal hairlines on side 2 of disc 1.
Sound Quality:
Disc 1 EXCELLENT Disc 2: EXCELLENT + Disc 3: MINT
All discs show no signs of play but some light background is audible on disc 1, mostly notably on the opening song & between tracks. This is less audible on disc 2 and completely absent on disc 3. However, apart from this minor distraction, every track plays without groove/playwear distortion or any clicks, pops or other such distraction.
Box: EXCELLENT
A fine example of this easily damaged component with a clean, white and unblemished front panel where the only sign of wear occurs on the edges of lower right edge. There is a touch of shelfwear to the lower two corners but all are fully intact and none are split.
Both of the inside panels are immaculate and unmarked.
The spine hinge is unworn & fully intact. All of the gold lettering is present with just slight wear to the lower section.
Poster: NEAR MINT
Factory-folded & unhung.
Inner-sleeves: NEAR MINT
All are clean & unworn with just an unavoidable light disc impression, but no stresses or splits to any seam.
