CONDITION

Labels: EXCELLENT +

A beautiful pair bearing just a single stray trail around the each centre hole.

Visual: EXCELLENT +

Pristine playing surfaces which are unworn and retain all of their 'as new' deep-gloss shine. There is just a tiny 1mm mark on the 'Love Me Do' side and a light turntable scuff on the 'P.S. I Love You' side, but this is overall one of the best looking copies you could hope to find.

Audio: MINT -

A remarkably warm and clean sound with a rich bass response which outshines any other later source for these tracks, which were of course dubbed from a disc such as this. Both sides begin from silent run-ins and play clearly throughout with no trace of any groove/playwear distortion or any clicks, pops or other such distractions. Not many left like this.

Cover: EXCELLENT

Light age/storagewear with record shop stamp on one side.
