The XRCD, XRCD type JEWEL CASE and INSERTS are all in near MINT minus overall condition! The disc may have a light spider mark or two on the reflective side of the CD, nothing serious - play tested perfectly. The jewel case shows only light shelf wear - NO cut out marks and NO damages - see the pictures with this listing as they are of the actual item. 

This GOLD CD 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!
