CONDITION

Disc

Labels: NEAR MINT

A pristine pair with just a small mark around the 'we Can Work It Out' centre hole but no spindle trails to the 'Day Tripper centre or wear to either hole.

Visual: EXCELLENT +

Immaculate clean playing surfaces which are totally unmarked on strong daylight, revealing just one or two barely visible wispy paper hairlines directly beneath my unforgiving halogen desk lamp. Down slightly from NM due to a slight dish from manufacture but this does not affect sound or play.

Play: NEAR MINT

A superb sounding copy where the audio is clean & clear throughout both songs with no noticeable audible faults or wear.

Cover: VERY GOOD

General storagewear but no major faults.

**PLEASE NOTE: This item is located in and will be shipped from AUSTRIA. 1st class international postage to UK addresses will be 5 GBP**

Our grading is strict & conservative grading under strong daylight & directly beneath a halogen desk lamp to UK 'RECORD COLLECTOR' standards.

We carefully play every record I sell on an EMT 950 transcription turntable fitted with a 'TSD 15' cartridge at volume and list all visual and audible faults.

Every image in this listing has been taken by ourselves (with a Canon G3 camera) and are of the actual item for sale. We do not copy from other listings or use stock images.

Each record is professionally & securely packaged in custom-made record mailing boxes with the disc removed from the cover.
