CONDITION

Disc

Labels: NEAR MINT

An immaculate, unbeatable set which bear just a single faint spindle marks around each completely unworn centre hole.

Visual: NEAR MINT

Pristine 'as new' playing surfaces which are totally unmarked and unblemished in strong daylight. Even careful examination beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp fails to reveal anything more than a handful of barely visible wispy paper hairlines form the once or twice this disc has been out of its cover. Both sides of this amazing copy lie 100% flat on the turntable when playing, with no traces of dishing or warping.

Play: NEAR MINT

As this disc has been played just once of twice, it is no surprise that the sound quality is flawless & 'as new' throughout. My single careful play-check at volume found absolutely no evidence of any audible wear or faults on or between any of these outstanding tracks. I guarantee that you will not be disappointed with this beautiful copy.

Cover

NEAR MINT

A truely 1st-class example with a rich, clean & undamaged high-gloss front laminate which bears just a single small wrinkle on Ringo's' head but no spine bends or any other blemishes.All corners are clean & sharp with just minor bruises to the right corners but no heavy bump or splits. Both opening edges are clean & sharp with no 'pushes', tears or feathering to either. The rear panel is pristine white with no marks, writing or missing paper anywhere. All flipbacks are perfectly clean & undamaged and both seams & the fully worded spine are smooth, unworn & undamaged. Tough to upgrade this one.

Inner-sleeve

EXCELLENT +

Clean & crisp with just a few unavoidable storage creases but no writing, tears or seam splits.
