CONDITION
Disc
Labels: 1. NEAR MINT 2. EXCELLENT
A pristine, unworn pair with no more than a small handful of faint, well-aimed spindle trails around each completely unworn centre hole. There is a small scratch at the lower edge of the side 2 label.
Visual: NEAR MINT
Immaculate deep-gloss playing surfaces which are MINT & totally unmarked in strong daylight and reveal just a few barely visible wispy paper hairlines directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp. Both sides of this superb copy lie 100% flat on the turntable when playing.
Play: NEAR MINT
This superb sounding copy has received less than a handful of careful plays on high-end equipment and my single careful play-check at volume could find no trace of any groove/play wear to any track or inded any other audible faults or wear.
Cover: EXCELLENT
A clean, glossy and unworn example which retains a clean high-gloss laminate all-round with just some faint storage rubbing and a single wrinkle in the laminate which appears to be from manufacture rather than from wear. All corners are clean & shape and both opening edges are completely unworn. The only significant sign of wear are a few flecks of missing paper along the unlaminated lower edge of the rear panel. Both seams are smooth & unstressed and the fully worded spine is clean, white & totally unworn.
Insert: NEAR MINT
Perfectly clean, white & flat with no creasing or damage.
Inner-sleeve: NEAR MINT
Clean, white & flat with just an unavoidable light disc impression but no creasing, seam splits or tears.
