Condition

Labels: VERY GOOD +

There are some marks on the label, possibly from inner-sleeve storage and some spindle trails, but no writing or missing paper.

Visual: VERY GOOD +

Both surfaces are clean and glossy with just a few light surface hairlines and a 1cm surface mark on side 2 when examined in strong daylight. Close and careful inspection of both sides directly under a halogen desk lamp reveals a sparkling rainbow shine but no other significant or major marks or wear.

Play: VERY GOOD

This copy has received frequent but careful play and although some light background noise is present throughout, there are no major audible faults. My careful playcheck revealed two clicks at the beginning of 'Yellow Submarine' and two at the end of 'For No One' but no jumps or repeats or other such blemishes. The superior, alternate mix of 'Tomorrow Never Knows' with is differenly mixed sound effects and extended fade-out plays without fault.

Cover

VERY GOOD

A firm & bright example with just light/normal handling & storagewear but no major faults. The front panel is clen with just some toning towards the edges but no significant wear to the corners or opening edges. The rear panel displays slight rubbing from storage but no writing or missing paper. All flipbacks clean & intact and both seams and the spine are unstressed & undamaged.

Inner-sleeve

VERY GOOD
