Matrix numbers: ZAPPLE 01 A1 & ZAPPLE 01 B1

CONDITION
Disc
Labels: NEAR MINT
A vibrant and clean pair with no more than two or three well-aimed spindle trails around each unworn centre hole.
Visual: EXCELLENT +
Pristine deep-gloss playing surfaces which display nothing more than one or two light surface marks (not scratches) in strong daylight, none of which are deep or feelable. Closer examination directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp reveals absolutely no traces of any other surface marks or wear whatsoever.
Play: NEAR MINT
This copy has received just one or two careful plays on good equipment and as a result, the sound remains flawless on both sides.
Cover:
EXCELLENT
A clean, strong & glossy example which displays a touch of light storagewear but no major faults. The front panel retains all of its 'as new' high-gloss finish with just two light storage marks but no 'thumbnails' or any other significant wear. There is minor bruising to the lower corners and a few small 'pushes' to the opening edges but no tears or feathering. The rear panel displays a faint disc impression throughout storage but again no creasing or damage. Both seams and the fully worded spine are smooth, unstressed and unsplit.
Inner-sleeve:
EXCELLENT
A uncreased & unworn example with just a few faint age-spots but no writing, tears or seam splits.
