CONDITION
DISC
Labels: EXCELLENT
A fine looking pair bearing a handful of spindle trails around each unworn centre hole.
Visual: EXCELLENT
Factory-fresh, deep-gloss playing surfaces which apart from 1.5cm very light surface mark on side 1 are unmarked in strong daylight. Closer inspection directly beneath halogen light reveals only some harmless wispy paper-type hairlines and a sparkling rainbow shine.
Audio: MINT -
Played with care on top quality equipment just a handful of times, the sound quality is clear and totally unworn throughout. Aside form a little low-level vinyl background on the run-ins and between tracks, it is flawless.
Cover: EXCELLENT
A nice strong and clean example which is fully intact with light handling and storagewear only. The high-gloss front panel is clean and white where it should be with just a single thumbnail wrinkle and a couple of small spine bends. There is minor shelfwear to the corners as well as some light wear to the opening edges, but nothing serious. The exposed rear panel is clean overall with a a few handling marks towards the opening edge but no writing or missing paper. All flipbacks are intact, both smooth seams and a the spine is clearly worded.
Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT
Some light storage wrinkles but no writing, tears or seam splits.
