CONDITION
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT +
A clean & bright pair with just a small collection of spindle trails to each centre hole.
Visual: EXCELLENT
Both playing surfaces of this well-cared for copy are perfectly clean & glossy with just a few insignificant faint marks from inner-sleeve removal visible in strong daylight but no scratches whatsoever. Close and careful inspection directly beneath my unforgiving halogen desk lamp reveals just a sparkling rainbow shine but no further visible wear or blemishes.
Play: EXCELLENT
This great sounding copy has received only careful attention from high-end equipment and my careful play-check at volume found there to be no significant deterioration to the sound quality overall. The only blemishes I found were a few seconds of 'hiss' on the fade-out of 'A Hard Day's Night' and a touch of wear on the two final tracks on each side. However, apart from these minor issues, this is a fine sounding and enjoyable copy.
Cover
EXCELLENT
An extremely clean & strong wexample hich retains a bright, unyellowed & glossy front panel laminate bearing just a handful of small 'thumbnail' wrinkles towards the opening edge, but no other creasing or wear. All corners are clean & square with no bumps or bruising and just slight wear to the rear opening edge - from storage rather than handling I feel. The rear panel is super clean & white and free from any marks, writing or missing paper. All flipbacks are clean & fully intact and both seams and the fully worded spine are all smooth, unstressed and undamaged.
Inner-sleeve
EXCELLENT
Crisp & unworn with a little unavoidable storage wrinkling but no writing, tears or seam splits.
