Description
Italian pressing PMCQ 31509 on the Parlophon label matrix numbers XEX 579 T1 30-12-65 & XEX 580 T1 30-12-65
The disc is Good plus, it has some shine, under a spotlight there are numerous light marks and scuffing but nothing that seriously impacts play. I’ve played it all on my pro-ject turntable and it plays very well with strong and clear audio throughout. There were no skips, no sticks, there’s the occasional click and some light crackle audible between some tracks and in some quiet sections but not continuous background noise. Very listenable but not perfect. It sits flat on the turntable.
The labels are clean and free from handwriting, stains etc.
The sleeve is laminated front and back and is in VG condition, there is general wear (heavy wear with the beginnings of a split in the centre of the partially legible spine) and a couple of small areas of surface loss on the rear, the largest on the top edge above John. Otherwise it’s fine, clean with a decent opening edge without fraying.
Plain white inner, I do not know if it is original, suspect not.
Please see photos.
The record has been cleaned on my Pro-Ject VC-S cleaner using fluid that is alcohol free.
If you have any questions please ask.
I’m selling some of my Beatles odds & ends / duplicates, please see my other listings.
------------------
Gradings refer to the UK Record Collector Magazine standard (shown below). I would only use "mint" for genuinely unplayed records. Visual grading is done under a spoltlight. Play testing is done on a pro-ject turntable.
If buyer is not satisfied for any reason please contact me, I will refund on safe return of item.
Record will be packaged in a proper mailer with stiffening.
Mint (M) - The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet. booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records marked as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
Excellent (EX) - The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
Very Good (VG) - The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects is acceptable
Good (G) - The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc
