CONDITION
Disc: EXCELLENT
This well looked-after copy has received a moderate amount of play on quality equipment and as a result, all tracks play cleanly & clearly with no trace of any groove/playwear or crackle. Both labels are clean with a collection of spidle trails around the side 2 centre hole mostly and both playing surfaces are clean & retain all of their deep-gloss shine. There are no significant marks on either side beneath halogen light, just a few light wispy marks on side 2. The only factor preventing a higher grade are a few repeating clicks at the very beginning of 'Yesterday'. It's hard to find clean sounding copies of this pressing and this wone would be tough to beat.
Cover: EXCELLENT -
An attractive example of this striking cover which retains a clean & unworn high-gloss front panel which is free from any 'thumbnail' wrinkles or any other noticeable wear. All corners are in nice shape and both opening edges are undamaged. The exposed rear panel has some foxing, mostly towards the lower right corner, but there is no writing or missing paper anywhere. All flipbacks, seams and the spine are smooth and totally unworn.
