CONDITION
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT
Both are clean & unmarked with just a hint of wear to the 'Hello, Goodbye' centre hole but no other signs of wear.
Visual: EXCELLENT
Extremely clean & bright playing surfaces which bear no significant surface marks or wear to either side. Close inspection directly beneath my unforgiving halogen desk lamp reveals one or two very faint marks but no scratches or other marks.
Play: EXCELLENT
Clear & clean sound from this barely played copy with no trace of any groove/play wear, background noise. The only distraction I detected during my single play-check were two light ticks in the break before the final part of 'Hello, Goodbye'.
Cover: VERY GOOD
General age/storagewear but no major faults.
**PLEASE NOTE: This item is located in and will be shipped from AUSTRIA. 1st class international postage to UK addresses will be 5 GBP**
