CONDITION
Labels: NEAR MINT
An immaculate set where I can just barely make out two faint spindle trails to he side 1 centre hole.
Visual: NEAR MINT
Pristine unmarked playing surface which are 'as new' in strong daylight. Closer inspection beneath my unforgiving halogen desk lamp reveals just a few extremely faint inner-sleeve removal marks but definately no scuffs or scratches anywhere.
Play: NEAR MINT
From visual evidence, it is clear that this copy has barely been near a turntable since purchase 47 years ago. Each track plays with a clarity and power missing from the album cut and are completely unworn in every respect. Both run-ins and bands play without a single clicks, tick or pop and even the delicate 'Taste Of Honey' and exposed introduction to 'Do You Want To Know A Secret' play without any trace of background interference. This one does not disappoint.
Cover
EXCELLENT +
A 1st class example which is clean & unworn throughout with the only sign of wear being an unavoidable light impressing of the label ring from storage on each panel. Easy to find, but not in this condition.
