Condition: EX+/NM-/NM- ( Cover / Disc 1/2 )


COVER: Cover is excellent in condition, except for lightly worn corners & right-edge. It’s slightly stained along the spine-edge, while being clean on the front, back & inside gate-fold. Otherwise it has no tear, ring-wear, dent, strip & writing...fine in shape.

DISC 1/2: Both discs are nearly TOP in condition, keeping glossy. Each disc has a few spindle-marks on each label. The printed catalogue numbers are misprinted and crossed out in red. Correct numbers are stamped. Otherwise each disc has none of any scuff, scratch & hairline, which can be rated as “NM". No flaw on the groove of both… very clean discs, we guarantee you.
