CONDITION

Disc


Labels: EXCELLENT

Both labels are bright with just some minor playwear in around the centre hole of the 'A' side label.
The letter 'E' is written in red ball-point pen on the 'A' side label but the 'This Boy' label is clean and unmarked.

Visual: VERY GOOD

Both sides are very clean & bright but bear a few light fingernail marks and the occaisional stylus scratch but no deep or feelable marks.
Close & careful inspection directly under a halogen desk lamp reveals some wispy paper hairlines but no further marks or wear.
Both sides lie 100% flat both sides on the turntable with no dishing or warping.

Audio: VERY GOOD PLUS

This disc has recieved frequent but careful play and there is no significant deterioration or damage to the sound quality on either side.
Both run-ins play with some normal light crackle but there are no clicks, jumps, repeats or any other major faults.
An extremely rare & respectable copy.

**Please see my other listings for some more rare UK Beatles Records**

Strict visual grading in daylight and directly under a halogen desk lamp.

This disc has been carefully audibly graded in its entirety on a Rega P9 deck fitted with a Shelter 901 cartridge.
