CONDITION
Disc
Labels: NEAR MINT
An outstanding set with just two faint spindle lines around the side 2 centre hole only.
Visual: EXCELLENT +
Extremely clean, deep-gloss & unworn playing surfaces where the only signs of wear are a few harmless light hairlines directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp, but little to suggest that this copy has received no more than a few careful plays at most.
Sound Quality: NEAR MINT
A rare, clean & clear sounding copy of this EP which bears no trace of any groove/playwear on any track. In fact, apart from a hint of low-level vinyl background between tracks, there is little to fault or disappoint.
Cover: EXCELLENT +
The fine clean & unworn example which retains an undamaged front panel where the only sign of wear is an unavoidable light inner-ring impression. All corners are sharp and undamaged, as are both opening edges. The exposed rear panel shows are touch of age-toning but is otherwise unmarked and free from any writing or missing paper.
