CONDITION
Disc
Labels: MINT
A perfect unblemished pair with no wear to or around either centre hole.
Visual: NEAR MINT
Pristine playing surfaces which appear MINT & unmarked in strong daylight with just a few barely visible wispy paper hairlines visible only directly beneath my unforgiving halogen desk lamp. Both sides of this wonderful copy lie 100% flat on the turntable when playing.
Play: NEAR MINT
This copy has clearly barely, if ever been played. My single careful play-check at volume found the sound to be warm, clean & clear throughout with no traces of any groove/play-wear or background crackle. In fact the only audible distraction I heard were a few soft 'ticks' on track 1 or side 1. However, apart form that minor blemish, there is nothing else to fault audibly on this treasured copy.
Cover
EXCELLENT
An extremely clean & strong example which display some light storagewear but no significant signs of wear. The front panel is bright & glossy with just some light scratching from storage but no 'thumbnails' or any other creases. There is a bump to the upper left corner and some faint toning to both opening edges but no other signs of age. Both seams are smooth & unstressed and the fully worded spine is undamaged.
Insert
EXCELLENT
Clean & unmarked with just a few soft 'thumbnail' bends and a light disc impression but no other traces of wear.
Inner-sleeve
EXCELLENT
Clean & flat with just a tiny tear to the centre window but no seam splits or any other faults.
**PLEASE NOTE: This item is located and will be shipped from AUSTRIA. 1st class international postage to UK addresses will be 6.50 GBP**
