CONDITION
Disc
Labels: NEAR MINT
A superb clean & bright set showing just one or two barely visible spindle trails around each unworn centre hole.
Visual: EXCELLENT +
Both playing surfaces are clean & retain all of their factory shine. Side 1 is immaculate with just a few harmless wispy paper marks beneath halogen light.
Side 2 is the same except for a long but light surface mark which does not affect sound or play in any way.
Audio: NEAR MINT
This fine sounding, barely played disc plays cleanly & clearly with no crackle or groove wear to any part. All of the warmth and clarity of the unmatched 1st cutting shines through on every level. Aside from a trace of regular low-level vinyl background on the run-ins and some quieter passages, there is little to fault and much to enjoy on this well looked after copy.
Cover: EXCELLENT +
A highly respectable example with a clean, high-gloss laminate all-round bearing just a hint of storage but no 'thumbnail' wrinkles front or rear.
There is a small shelfwear bruises to the left corner but the others and both opening edges are perfect.
Both seams are smooth, unstressed and the spine is fully laminated and worded.
Inner-sleeve: NEAR MINT
