CONDITION
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT +
Both are clean & bright with just a handful of light spindle trails around each centre hole.
Visual: EXCELLENT +
Factory-fresh, deep-gloss playing surfaces whee the only noticeable blemish in strong daylight is a very light fingernail scuff over track 1 on side 1. Even close examination directly beneath halogen light reveals little more than a sparkling rainbow shine.
Audio: NEAR MINT
The great sounding disc has been played with care just a handful of times on quality equipment only. Apart from a trace of regular low-level vinyl background between tracks, it is flawless.
Cover: EXCELLENT
A highly respectable example with a clean, glossy front panel laminate bearing several small 'thumbnail' and lower corner wrinkles alongside an unavoidable faint disc impression from storage. All corners and both opening edges are undamaged. Aside from retailer's original sticker and price (32/2) written in pencil, the exposed rear panel is clean, white & unblemished. There is a tiny crease to the upper right corner flipback but all others, both seams and the fully worded spine are fully intact.
Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT +
