CONDITION
Discs
All Labels: MINT
All 4 are perfect with no spindle trails or wear to or around any centre hole.
Visual: Disc 1: MINT Disc 2: NEAR MINT
Both discs are factory-fresh and 'as new' with no visible blemishes or wear visible in strong daylight. I have downgraded disc 2 slightly due only to a few harmless wispy inner-sleeve removal hairlines on side 4 visible only beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp. You will not find a cleaner set.
Sound Quality: MINT< b="">
Exquisite sound quality from this highest-quality pressing which plays flawlessly throughout all sides and will not disappoint.
Cover: EXCELLENT
White & unworn with two small 'thumbnail wrinkles on the front panel and small stains in the upper right corner. All corners themselves along with all of the top-opening edges are perfectly sharp and totally unworn. The rear panel has a light disc impression from storage and a further stain in the upper left corner. The small 'stereo' indicator on the rear and unique number on the front panel are bold & unworn.
Apart from the aforementioned corner blemishes, both panels inside the gatefold are pristine
All seams are smooth and unstressed and the spine is totally unworn, unbent & perfectly worded
Photos: NEAR MINT
Slight foxing on John, but otherwise all are 'as new'
Poster: NEAR MINT
Unhung with a few tiny handling wrinkles but no tears to any corner or fold
Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT
Clean & undamaged with a few minor storage bends but no tears or seam splits
