The Hybrid SACD, JEWEL CASE and INSERTS are all in near MINT minus overall condition! The jewel case has some light shelf wear, nothing serious. There are NO cut out marks and NO damages to the jewel case. The disc has no serious marks on the reflective side, only a couple of very light marks and play tested perfectly. The disc has a GOLD hue (color) to the reflective side - see our pictures with this listing as they are of the ACTUAL ITEM that we are offering.

This SACD is an audiophile quality pressing (any collector of fine MFSL, half speeds, direct to discs, Japanese/UK pressings etc., can attest to the difference a quality pressing can make to an audio system).

Do not let this rarity slip by!
