CONDITION
Disc
Labels: MINT
All labels are fresh, clean & unblemished with just a single spindle mark to the side 2 & 3 centre hole but none whatsoever on any of the other.
Visual: MINT
Every playing surface is in flawless, 'factory-fresh condition with a pristine, deep-gloss totally unblemished by any surface marks or wear in strong daylight OR directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp. Each disc lies 100% flat on the turntable when playing.
Sound Quality: MINT
These discs have clearly been barely, if ever been played and the sound is completely unworn and wonderful throughout.
Box: Good to near mint
A superb strong and unworn example with a clean & unblemished front panel with no writing or missing paper to any area. All corners of both the lid and tray are unbumped and unsplit the textured rear panel is unscratched and unmarked. Inside is bright & clean on both sides - again with no marks, writing or missing paper. There is a hint of shelfwear to the lower/rear edge but the delicate hinge is fully intact and unsplit. All of the gold coloured lettering on the spine is clean, clear and complete. Tough to find a better early example
Inner-sleeves: NEAR MINT
There is no poster unfortunately
