CONDITION
Disc
Labels: NEAR MINT
An immaculate set with just a small handful of tiny, well-aimed spindle trails around each totally unworn centre hole.
Visual: NEAR MINT
Pristine, factory-fresh deep-gloss playing surfaces which are totally unmarked and 'as new' in strong daylight. Close inspection directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp reveals nothing more than a few barely visible wispy paper hairlines Both sides of this outstanding, well-looked after disc lie 100% flat on the turntable when playing.
Sound Quality: NEAR MINT
This copy has received just a handful of careful plays on good equipment and all tracks play without any noticeable audible faults or wear. Both run-ins and all bands play silently and there is not a single ticks, click or indeed any other audible distraction anywhere on this incredible album.
Cover: EXCELLENT
A clean, strong and heavy example with a clean and unworn front panel free from any signs of storage rubbing or wear. There is slight wear to the left corners but the rotating wheel is fully functional.
Both panels of the inside of the gatefold are clean & unmarked with just slight of toning to the upper & outer edges. The rear panel is as clean & glossy as the front with again a touch of toning towards the edges, but no other traces of wear.
The spine is square, uncrushed and is fully laminated & worded along its entire length
Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT
Some light storage creasing but no writing, tears or seam splits
