CONDITION
Disc
Labels: NEAR MINT
An extremely clean & bright pair with a small number of well-aimed spindle trails around the side 2 centre hole with just 2 or 3 on label 1.
Visual: NEAR MINT
Pristine deep-gloss playing surfaces which are totally unmarked in strong daylight - not a scuff, mark or scratch in sight. Even closer examination directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp reveals little more than some barely visible wispy paper hairlines from the inner-sleeve and a sparkling rainbow shine. Both sides of this high quality disc lie 100% flat on the turntable when playing.
Sound Quality: NEAR MINT
This fabulous sounding copy has clearly received minimal careful play on excellent equipment. My play-check was a rare pleasure for this album as all of the usual wear points such 'Eleanor Rigby' & 'Here, there & Everywhere' played flawlessly with no background crackle or interference or even a single click or pop. In fact, apart from a faint hint of playwear on 'She Said, She Said', there is little to fault on this great sounding copy which will not disappoint.
Cover: NEAR MINT
An extremely fine example which has been carefully stored in clean, non-smoking conditions these past 46 years, and it shows. The front panel is pristine white where it should be and retains a perfect unscratched high-gloss laminate where the only sign of wear is a faint bend towards the lower left corner but there are no 'thumbnails or even a single spine bend.
There is some minor shelfwear bruising to the lower corners but the upper two are sharp & unworn.
There is no evidence of wear to either of the opening edge whatsoever.
The exposed rear panel is 'as new' - perfectly clean & black and free from any fingermarks, storage rubbing or ringwear towards the lower left corner but certainly no writing or missing paper.
All flipbacks are perfectly clean and are completely unworn. Both seams & the spine are perfectly smooth, unstressed and in unworn.
Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT
Flat & uncreased with alight age-toning & the disc's catalogue number written in the centre, but no seam splits or tears.
