Labels: MINT-

A superb pair with no more than a small handful of faint spindle trails around each centre hole.

Visual: MINT -

Factory-fresh clean playing surfaces with nothing more than a few harmless wispy paper marks when viewed beneath halogen light.

Audio: MINT -

Played just a couple of times on quality equipment only, this is as good as this album can sound.

Cover: EXCELLENT

A truly fine example of this scarce cover with a clean, unyellowed front panel bearing just two 'thumbnail' and a couple of other small wrinkles. There is a small bump to the lower right corner but all others and the opening edges are in top condition. The rear panel is very clean with just a few small tiny age-blemishes. There is a tiny 2cm stress to the spine but all flipbacks are in-place and both seams are intact.
