CONDITION
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT
A clean, bright white set with numerous light spindle trails around each centre hole.
Visual: VERY GOOD +
Both playing surfaces are clean & unworn and still retain their just-pressed deep-gloss finish. There are several light, non-feelable hairlines on each side but nothing more than a sparkling rainbow shine upon inspection beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp.
Sound Quality: VERY GOOD
This copy has received a moderate amount of careful play but there is no significant deterioration to the sound quality anywhere. In fact, apart from a few light ticks and low-level vinyl background between tracks, there is nothing to fault on this rare pressing.
Cover: VERY GOOD -
A fully intact, if slightly flawed example of this scarce cover which has tape removed from around its edges on the front panel and some remains in-place on the rear. There is some minor wear to the front opening edge but no heavy bumps or bruising to the corners. In addition to the tape on the rear panel (which has been carelessly removed along the upper seam), there are some pen ticks on the tracklisting. No original inner-sleeve is present.
