Visual: EXCELLENT
All playing surfaces are clean and retain all of their 'as new' deep-gloss shine. Close inspection directly beneath halogen light reveals little more than a light surface line on side C and some harmless wispy paper scuffs from the inner-sleeve, but no other significant blemishes or wear.
Audio: EXCELLENT +
A great sounding set which has received minimal play on quality equipment only. All tracks on all sides play cleanly with no traces of any groove/playwear and all of the clarity and power expected of such an early pressing. The aforementioned mark on side C causes a few very faint/soft ticks during the few of the quieter passages on that side. Difficult to find a better sounding set.
Cover: VERY GOOD +
A clean, fully intact example with moderate ring/storage wear to the the high-gloss outer panels and corners. Both panels are inside are clean & glossy with again, a touch of ring wear but no writing or or other such blemishes. The unworded spine and all seams are smooth & unstressed.
