CONDITION

Both Discs

All Labels: NEAR MINT

A FEW spindle marks on each one 


Visual: NEAR MINT

All sides appear in NEAR MINT condition when viewed in strong daylight

Careful inspection directly under a halogen desk lamp reveals just a few wispy inner-sleeve removal hairlines but absolutely no other marks or wear.
All sides lie 100% flat on the turntable without any dishing or warping.

Audio: Disc 1 Near Mint Disc 2 NEAR MINT

So hard to find a top copy of this LP and I have listened to the entire LP at volume for this audio report.
The run-ins to all sides play silently with no background crackle on or between any tracks. There are no clicks, pops, jumps or hiss anywhere.
Unlikely to surface here again in such fine condition.

Cover: EXCELLENT PLUS / NEAR MINT

Very strong & clean 'thick' card, Very Slighlty yellowed example which retains an excellent 'whiteness'.
Both front & rear panel laminates are pristine, unscratched and undamaged; with no pitting, indentations or creasing anywhere.
There is a tiny, faint spot on the front panel but this is under the laminate.
There is slight bruising to the lower corners but the upper corners and top opening edges are clean, sharp & undamaged.
The inside of the gatefold is in perfect condition.
The spine laminate is all present, clean & readable.
Hard to find a cleaner example.
