CONDITION
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT +
A clean & bright set with a touch of wear around each centre hole but no spindle trails around either.
Visual: NEAR MINT
Pristine, factory-fresh playing surfaces which shine 'as new' and are totally unmarked in strong daylight. Even closer examination directly beneath my unforgiving halogen desk lamp fails to reveal anything more than a few barely visible wispy paper hairlines which I really struggled to see. You won't find a cleaner looking disc.
Sound Quality: MINT
A flawless sounding copy which will not require upgrading.
Cover: EXCELLENT +
A highly respectable example of this iconic cover which retains a impressive unworn high-gloss front panel free from any 'thumbnails' wrinkles or even a single spine wrinkle.
There is a small shelfwear bruise to the lower right corner but all others & both opening edges are sharp & unworn.
The exposed rear panel is very clean overall with just a few aged fingermarks towards the opening edge & a touch of age-toning but no major blemishes or wear. All flipbacks are intact and unworn and both seams are unstressed & unsplit.
The spine is clean, unworn & fully worded.
Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT +
Clean, flat & uncreased with some age-toning only.
