CONDITION
Labels: EXCELLENT
Both labels are clean bright with just a hint of wear to the centre holes.
Visual: EXCELLENT
Immaculate deep-gloss playing surfaces bearing a handful of light, non-feelable surface marks hairlines, but nothing which affects sound or play.
Audio: EXCELLENT
A fine sounding copy which apart from a touch of background on Til There Was You , plays without fault.
Cover: EXCELLENT
A beautiful example of this fragile cover retains an immaculate, unworn uncreased front panel with unworn unbumped corners and opening edges. The exposed rear panel is clean bright with the only traces of wear being to the flipbacks where they meet the corners. However, all are in-place and both seams and the spine are fully intact and undamaged. Tough to find better.
Clean bright with no writing or seam splits.
