CONDITION
Disc
Labels: NEAR MINT
A pristine pair with just two or three faint spindle trails around each unworn centre hole.
Visual: NEAR MINT
Both playing surfaces of this exceptional copy are 'factory-fresh' and completely unmarked in strong daylight with just a few barely visible wispy inner-sleeve removal marks directly beneath my unforgiving halogen desk lamp.
Sound Quality: MINT
Played just two or three times, the sound quality is flawless and wonderful throughout. You will not find a better copy of this LP.
Cover: EXCELLENT +
So rare to find this fragile cover in anything approaching this state, but this example has survived the past 54 years in top condition.
The front panel shine like new with no scratching or storage rubbing whatsoever. The only trace of wear is a small area of flaking laminate on the leading edge of the front leaf but there are no 'thumbnails anywhere. As with all copies of this cover, the white areas have slightly discoloured but the colored areas are vibrant and unfaded.
The rear panel is just as clean with the only wear being some discoloration in the upper left corner.
The inside of the gatefold is immaculate with no marks or wear to either panel or any tears or splits to the delicate hinge.
All seams and the spine are in perfect undamaged and unworn condition.
Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT
Some storage wrinkling but no writing, tears or seam splits.
