inner-sleeve.
CONDITION Labels: MINT - A beautifully clean unworn set with no damage or wear to any of the delicate gold print and no spindle marks around either centre hole.
Visual: EXCELLENT - Both playing surfaces are clean with no significant or noticeable surface marks either side.
There is however some visible whitening to the grooves in strong daylight, but close inspection beneath halogen light reveals little more than a sparkling rainbow shine.
Audio: EXCELLENT - This well looked-after copy has clearly been played a number of times and despite a little playwear, there are no clicks, pops, jumps or any interference in the bands between tracks.
Cover: EXCELLENT - A respectable early example with light to moderate storagewear but no major faults.
The front panel is clean glossy with light storagewear rubbing but no thumbnails .
There is some softening to the upper corners although there is no damage to either of the opening edges.
The exposed rear panel has some light discolouration from storage but no writing or missing paper.
There is a small section of the flipback in the lower left corner which seems to have been cut at an unusual angle although this appears to be a manufacturing error.
Both upper lower seams are smooth unstressed and the spine is clean and fully worded.
Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT Clean flat with light age-toning only.
