Both labels have the '33' speed indicator - which was changed to '33 1/3' on later pressings.

CONDITION

Disc

Labels: MINT

A perfect pair bearing no single spindle trails to either centre hole.

Visual: MINT -

Perfectly clean, deep-gloss playing surfaces which are 'as new' in strong daylight and show  just some light inner-sleeve contact marks  directly beneath halogen light.

Audio: MINT

Flawless clean, clear & unworn sound throughout with no ticks, clicks or any other audible distractions. No need to upgrade this disc.

Cover: EXCELLENT

A highly respectable strong and fully intact example with an superb high-gloss front panel without any 'thumbnail' wrinkles and just a single spine bend. There is slight softening to the corners and a little wear to the opening edges but no tears or missing paper anywhere. The rear panel has some aged fingermarks to some areas but is free from any writing or any other blemishes. All flipbacks are intact and both seams and the spine are undamaged.

Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT

Clean & uncreased with moderate age-toning only.
