CONDITION
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT +
Both are clean & bright with small number of light spindle trails around each centre hole.
Visual: EXCELLENT +
Clean, deep-gloss playing surfaces bearing just one or two insignificant surface marks each side in strong daylight, none of which are deep or feelable.
Close examination directly beneath halogen light reveals no additional blemishes.
Audio: EXCELLENT +
This fine sounding disc has received very little play and on quality equipment only.
Apart from a little low-level vinyl background between tracks, there is little to fault and much to enjoy.
Cover: EXCELLENT
A very respectable example with a clean, glossy & unworn front panel laminate bearing several small 'thumbnail' and spine wrinkles along with a faint disc impression from storage. All corners and both opening edges are in nice shape with no heavy bumps or bruising to any. Aside from an original price sticker '(32/2)' the exposed rear panel is clean, white & unblemished. Both seams and the fully worded spine are fully intact.
Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT
