CONDITION
Disc
Labels: NEAR MINT
A bright & unworn pair showing just 3 small spindle trails around the side 2 centre hole only.
Visual: EXCELLENT +
Perfectly clean, deep-gloss playing surface which are unmarked in strong daylight showing just some harmless wispy inner-sleeve removal marks on side 2 & a sparkling rainbow shine.
Sound Quality: NEAR MINT
This disc has clearly received only a few careful plays on good equipment as the sound quality is clean & unworn throughout. My playcheck found no evidence of any groove/playwear or any clicks, ticks or other such distraction. In fact, apart from a little low-level vinyl background between tracks, there is nothing to fault here.
Cover: EXCELLENT
Clean with moderate age-toning but retaining an unscratched high-gloss front panel bearing just four small 'thumbnail' wrinkles towards its opening edge and no further significant signs of wear. The rear panel is similarly bright & clean with only a few small indentations from storage. There is some bruising to the corners along with a touch of wear to the opening edges but all seams are smooth & unstressed.
Both panels of the gatefold are clean & unworn
Both seams are smooth & unstressed & the spine is unworn & fully worded.
The spine is worn along section between the two lower sets of wording but all sets of text are undamaged and readable.
Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT +
Inserts: EXCELLENT +
Flexi-disc cover: EXCELLENT +
Clean & flat with just a small area of storage wrinkling to the lower left corner.
Flexi-disc: MINT
