CONDITION

Disc

Labels: EXCELLENT +

A vibrant & unworn set with a small number of well-aimed spindle trails around each unworn centre hole.

Visual: NEAR MINT

Pristine factory-fresh deep-gloss playing surfaces which are totally unmarked in strong daylight ,with just a few barely visible wispy paper hairlines directly beneath my unforgiving halogen desk lamp. Both sides of this high-quality, well looked-after copy lie 100% flat on the turntable when playing.

Sound Quality: NEAR MINT

Sparingly & carefully played on excellent equipment, all tracks here play cleanly and clearly without any trace of groove/playwear distortion. In fact, apart from a hint of low-level vinyl background on 'Eleanor Rigby', the sound quality is flawless throughout.

Cover: EXCELLENT

A clean, firm and glossy example with light storagewear but no major faults throughout.

The front panel is perfectly clean and retains an unscratched high-gloss front panel bearing just a few light edge wrinkles only. There is some light shelfwear rubbing to the lower two corners but both opening edges are undamaged. The rear panel is clean & unblemished with just a small bend towards the lower left corner. There is a 2cm stress to the lower seam but the upper one and fully worded spine are unworn. No original inner-sleeve is present.
