A perfect pair with no spindle marks or wear to or around either centre hole.
Visual: EXCELLENT +
Pristine deep-gloss playing surfaces which apart from two faint hairlines and a small turntable scuff on the 'I'm Down' side are unmarked in strong daylight. Even closer inspection beneath my unforgiving halogen desk lamp fails to reveal any further visual faults or wear.

This great sounding copy has been barely played and is free from any noticeable audible faults or wear.
Cover: EXCELLENT
Clan & flat with minor storagewear only but no major faults.
