CONDITION

Disc

Labels: NEAR MINT

A vivid & vibrant set with no wear and even a sliver of the silver centre hole marker still visible around part of the side 1 centre hole. There appears to be a little wear to he side 2 hole but no spindle marks around either.

Visual: NEAR MINT

Immaculate and pristine deep-gloss playing surfaces which are totally 'as new' & unmarked in strong daylight. Even careful inspection directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp reveals little more than a handful of insignificant wispy paper hairlines from the inner-sleeve, but no other blemishes or wear whatsoever. Naturally, both sides of this superb copy lie 100% flat on the turntable with no traces of any dishing or warping.

Play: NEAR MINT

This barely, if ever, played copy sounds 'as new' throughout, My careful play-check at volume could found absolutely no wear or flaws on or between any of these amazing tracks. You won't find a better copy.

Cover

EXCELLENT

A very clean & strong example with a sparkling high-gloss front laminate which bears just two small 'thumbnail' wrinkles, but no other significant traces of wear. There is a bump to the upper left corner and a hint of wear to the opening edges, but no tears or major damage to any. The rear panel is clean & very white with the only blemish being a tiny area of dried tape adhesive in the extreme upper right corner. All flipbacks are clean & fully intact & the seam and fully worded spine are all smooth, unstressed & completely unworn.

Inner-sleeve

EXCELLENT +

Clean & flat with just the inevitable light disc impression but no writing, tears or seam splits.
