LABELS: NEAR MINT
Clean, fresh labels with just a couple of spindle traces per side - seen very little use
VINYL Visual: NEAR MINT
Both surfaces shine like new and are practically unmarked - nothing but light misting to parts of the rims - of no audible significance
VINYL Audio: NEAR MINT
This barely played copy delivers stunning sound throughout - crisp, clean and incredibly immediate and my play-check at volume found little to fault - just a touch of low-level background on the run-ins and between a couple of the tracks - absolutely nothing really - barely worth a mention - plays like-new and one pretty hard to beat
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT+
A really fine example with a deep gloss to the front laminate, a clean white back, sharp unworn edges and just a few light shop creases to the spine - which is ‘pinched’ top and bottom and displays all text crisp, bold and unworn

I will combine postage for items purchased within any 10 day period.

Any items purchased after payment will be included in the next 10 period.
I am continually adding new items which may be of interest to you and it is impractical for me to allow payment to be postponed indefinitely in the expectation that you might wish to bid on future items. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation
