CONDITION
Disc
Labels: MINT
A pristine pair with no marks or wear to or around either centre hole.
Visual: EXCELLENT +
Both playing surfaces appear 'as new' when viewed in strong daylight with all of their deep-gloss shine fully intact. Close examination directly beneath my unforgiving halogen desk lamp fails to reveal anything more than a sparkling rainbow shine and a few insignificant faint & wispy marks from inner-sleeve storage & removal. Both sides of this superb copy lie 100% flat when playing, with no dishing or warping. Tough to upgrade.
Play: EXCELLENT +
This copy has clearly been barely played and my single careful playcheck at volume found no evidence of any groove/playwear on any track. I did pick up a hint of light background on the beginning of 'Love In Vain' and on the instrumental break on 'Midnight Rambler', but certainly no clicks, pops, hiss or any other such audible distractions which spoil the enjoyment of this magnificent album.
Cover
EXCELLENT
A strong and fully intact example with a glossy & totally unscratched front panel where the only sign of wear is a bend to the upper left corner and a single tiny 'thumbnail' towards the opening edge. All corners are clean & sharp and bth opening edges are clean, sharp & unworn. The rear panel is extremely clean & unworn with just a small crease in the upper right corner but no other blemishes whatsoever. Both seams are smooth & unstressed and the spine is fully worded, laminated & unworn.
Inner-sleeve
EXCELLENT
Clean & white where it should be, with some light storage wrinkling but no writing, seam splits or tears anywhere.
Poster
MINT
Factory folded & unhung.
N.B The image of the poster in this listing shows the poster in its folded state.
