Visual: Disc 1: NEAR MINT Disc 2.
MINT Both discs are in spectacular condition and have clearly been out of their inners just a few times since purchase.
Both retain all of their factory deep-gloss shine with no clouding or groove-whitening.
The usually worn disc 1 is in wonderful shape and is as new in strong daylight.
The only factory preventing a straight MINT are a few tiny inner-sleeve removal marks on side 2.
Disc 2 is flawless and again totally unmarked in strong daylight and also directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp.
Both discs lie 100 flat on the turntable when playing and will not require upgrading.
Sound Quality of Both discs: NEAR MINT It s extremely difficult to find a clean, unworn sounding copy of this pressing, but this example is an exception and is the best I have heard for a long time.
Both discs have been played just once or twice at most and consequently the sound quality is clean, clear unworn throughout, retaining all of the warmth and detail of the superior mono mix.
My single careful play-check was a joy and detected no evidence of any groove/playwear distortion on any track or in either channel.
Apart from a hint of normal low-level vinyl background between tracks, there is nothing to fault on this flawless sounding set.
You will not need, or be able to upgrade these discs.
Cover: NEAR MINT A 1st-class example of this easily blemished cover which has been stored in a non-smoking environment retains a fine whiteness The front panel is immaculate and unworn with no thumbnail , creases or indeed any other wear.
The laminate is fully intact over the raised wording and the unique number is clean bold.
There is slight shelfwear bruising to the lower corners, but all of the top-opening edges which are clean, sharp and unworn.
The rear panel bears a single light wrinkle near the top-opening edge, but no other blemishes or wear of any kind.
Both panels inside of the gatefold are as new The spine is clean unworn with just three tiny laminate splits, but both sets of wording are covered and clearly readable.
All seams of both pockets are all smooth, unstressed unsplit, making this one of the best example you will come across.
Poster: NEAR MINT Never removed from the cover and apart from a few tiny age spots is in perfect condition Photos: MINT Photo protector: MINT Inner-sleeves: EXCELLENT Both are clean flat with a few unavoidable storage bends but no tears or wear to the centre windows or upper edges.
