CONDITION

Disc

Labels: EXCELLENT +

A pristine set with just one or two visible spindle trails around the side B & C center holes.

Visual: EXCELLENT +

All playing surfaces are in immaculate condition and retain all of their 'as new' deep-gloss rainbow shines. All are free from any surface marks or scratches with just a few faint inner-sleeve storage marks to the edges of sides A & C, but no other traces of wear.

Play: EXCELLENT +

This superb copy has received just one or two extremely careful plays on top-quality equipment & my careful playcheck at volume found the sound quality to be completely unworn and fault-free throughout all sides with no clicks, pops, ticks or any other such distractions or wear.

Cover

VERY GOOD +

A clean & strong example which has lost some of its gloss from storage and bears a handful of small spine wrinkles & two faint 'thumbnails' to the front panel. However, the inside of the gatefold is unblemished and all seams are smooth and unstressed & the spine is fully worded & undamaged.

Inner-sleeve

EXCELLENT
