Labels: NEAR MINT
An outstanding completely unblemished & unworn set with just a small handful of extremely faint spindle trails around each unworn centre hole.
Visual: NEAR MINT
Both playing surfaces of this immaculate and cherished copy retain all of their deep-gloss shine and appear 'as new' in strong daylight. Close examination directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp reveals a few harmless wispy paper hairlines but no other marks or wear. Both sides lie 100% flat on the turntable with no signs of dishing or warping. .
Play: NEAR MINT
From visual inspection alone it can be safely assumed that this wonderful example has received just a handful of careful plays and has been carefully & correctly stored. My careful single playcheck at volume found absolutely no evidence of any groove or play anywhere on either song. The bass remains rich & deep and the highs of John's harmonica are clean & unworn. Even the exposed breaks before Paul sings 'Love Me Do' are free from any background noise or crackle.
