CONDITION
Disc
Labels: NEAR MINT
All are pristine and unblemished with just 2 faint marks from the factory around the side 6 centre hole only.
Overall Visual: NEAR MINT
Pristine deep-gloss playing surfaces which apart from a single 1cm light hairline on track 3 on side 6 are unmarked and 'as new' in strong daylight. Closer inspection directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp reveals just a few barely visible wispy paper hairlines consistent with inner-sleeve storage together with a sparkling rainbow shine.
Overall Sound Quality: NEAR MINT
This wonderful sounding copy has clearly barely, if ever been played. All tracks play cleanly and clearly with no trace of any groove/playwear distortion or background interference. In fact, the only factor preventing a straight MINT audio grade is 3/4 faint ticks in the band between tracks 3 & 4 on side 6 due to the aforementioned hairline. Apart from that, the sound quality is flawless.
Cover: VERY GOOD +
A respectable example of this lavish cover which is strong and clean with light to moderate shelf/storagewear, but no significant or major faults throughout.
Inner-sleeves: NEAR MINT
All are perfectly flat & uncreased with just a tiny 5mm stress to the lower seam of one.
Poster: MINT
Factory-folded, unhung and 'as new'.
