I bought this a while ago and just kept it. I bought it used, so I don't remember the details. The disc surface seems to be without any noticeable scratches. I threw away my player, so I can't confirm playback. Please ask if you have any questions. It's unpopular, but it's actually pretty cool when you listen to it at full volume! Maxi Jazz passed away, so I think it might be re-evaluated in the future.
