A flawless set with no more than one or two light spindle trails around each centre hole.
Visual: EXCELLENT +
Perfectly clean, deep-gloss playing surfaces bearing just a few harmless inner-sleeve removal marks and a sparkling rainbow shine beneath halogen light.
Audio: EXCELLENT +
A wonderful sounding copy has been played just one or twice and has no trace of any playwear whatsoever, with just a touch of vinyl background between tracks. The '-3' side 1 re-cut is a revelation!
Cover: EXCELLENT
Clean & fully intact with nice corners and just a touch of toning to the spine. bumps to to the left corners and a small bend to the upper right. All seams and the spine are unstressed & unsplit.
