CONDITION

Labels: MINT -

All are in beautiful condition with just a handful of light spindle trails on the side 2 label only.

Both Discs

Visual: MINT -

Rarely have I seen such a clean pair of discs of this pressing. Both look like they left the shops last week. the only trace of use is a light inner-sleeve removal/paper scuff on side 2. There are no fingernail marks or scratches of any kind, anywhere. You won't find a better set.

Audio: MINT

Disc 1 has been played once or twice on quality equipment, disc 2 less or not at all. All tracks played perfectly and I cannot find fault on either. If you are looking for a final upgrade of these discs, this may be the one.

Cover: MINT -

A wonderful clean & strong example with an unworn, high-gloss front laminate bearing no 'thumbnails' or even a single spine bend. The laminate is still intact over the raised wording and the unique number is clear and very readable. All corners are square & unbumped and the top-opening edges unworn.  Both panels inside are immaculate and the rear panel is fine as blemish-free the front. The spine is a littl pinched but the text is clean & readable.

Photos: MINT

Poster: EXCELLENT +

Factory-folded & unhung but a few faint age-spots.

Inner-sleeves: EXCELLENT +

Both are clean & flat with no tears or seam splits. As good as these fragile components get.
