CONDITION

Labels: EXCELLENT +

Vibrant and unworn with no more than 2-3 light spindle trails around each unworn centre hole.

Disc: EXCELLENT -

Clean, deep-gloss playing surfaces which in strong daylight bear a small number of wispy paper hairlines and some light marks from inner-sleeve storage. There are two light blemishes in the vinyl on track 2, side 2 which produce a few audible 'swishes' on that track. Closer inspection reveals a small pinhead-sized mark at the beginning of the final track on side 2 which causes some repeating soft clicks there. Overall though, the sound throughout is clean & unworn with no traces of groove or playwear.

Cover: EXCELLENT

A strong and clean example with vibrant front & rear panel which are both free from any ring wear or other storagewear blemishes. There are tiny bruises to the corner's tips but the opening edges are sharp and unworn. Both panels inside the gatefold are immaculate. The spine colour has faded but it and all seams are smooth & fully intact.

 

Estimate: €3,000-4,000
