inner-sleeve.
CONDITION Disc Labels: NEAR MINT Both are clean and bright with just two tiny spindle trails around each unworn centre hole Visual: NEAR MINT Beautifully clean unworn playing surfaces which are totally unmarked and as new in strong daylight.
Even close examination beneath my unforgiving halogen desk lamp reveals only a few barely visible wispy paper hairlines from the once or twice this disc has been removed from its inner-sleeve.
Sound Quality: NEAR MINT Unlike most copies of this amazing album, this copy has been played just once or twice at most.
The sound quality throughout is clean unworn with a warmth and depth missing from any other format.
My single careful play-check at volume detected a trace of low-level vinyl background on the quiet beginning of Lazy , but certainly no groove/playwear whatsoever or any other audible distractions throughout.
Cover: NEAR MINT An exceptionally clean unworn example which retains an unscratched high-gloss laminate all-round with no thumbnail creases anywhere.
The front panel is immaculate with four tiny spine wrinkles being the only factor which prevents this from being MINT.
All corners are free from any bumps or bruising and bear just the tiniest touch of wear to their tips from sitting on the shelf.
The opening edges of the rear pocket the front pocket is sealed shut are clean unworn.
Inside, the only blemish is a few small flecks of missing paper along the lower edge of the left panel where the lamination ends.
All seams are perfectly smooth unstressed and the spine is square, fully laminated and worded.
Lyric Poster: EXCELLENT Factory folded unhung with just two light bends to the upper corners and minor handling wrinkles.
Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT A light disc impression and a couple of handling wrinkles, but no writing, tears or seam splits.
