CONDITION

Labels: MINT

A perfect pair with no wear to the delicate gold print or any marks or wear to or around either centre hole. 

Disc: MINT

Factory-fresh deep-gloss playing surfaces which are unmarked and 'as new both in strong daylight AND directly beneath halogen light. this disc could have been bought yesterday, let alone 55 years ago. It sounds as good as it looks with audio unmatched by any pressing on any format since. This really is as good as it gets and can be your final upgrade.

Cover: EXCELLENT +

A fine example of this fragile, earliest-type cover which retains a sparkling, unscratched, unworn high-gloss front laminate free from any 'thumbnail' wrinkles or spine bends. There is minor shelfwear to the tips of the lower corners and a little to the upper left. Both opening edges are clean & unworn. The exposed rear panel is overall clean & white but there is evidence of light foxing in places. There is a small repair to the lower right corner of the lower flipback but all are otherwise in-place. Both upper and lower seams are smooth & fully intact and the spine is in perfect condition.

Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT

Clean & uncreased with some light age-toning to the edges, but no tears or seam splits.

 

Estimate: €3,000-5,000
