Disc
Labels: NEAR MINT
Visual: EXCELLENT +
Both surfaces of this superb copy are clean, bright & glossy, displaying just a few faint inner-sleeve storage marks in strong daylight - but no scuffs, marks or scratches of any kind. Close inspection directly under halogen light reveals a sparkling rainbow gloss and the lighest of wispy paper hairlines but again no other significant signs of wear whatsoever. Totally 100% flat on the turntable with no signs of dishing or warping.
Play: NEAR MINT
This copy has received just a few careful plays on top quality equipment and as a result, there are no signs of groovewear disortion or background noise anywhere. The easily damaged introductions to 'Something' & 'Here Comes The Sun' play perfectly cleanly & clearly, free from wear - as are all other quiet passages. My careful play-check at volume revealed no ticks, clicks or any other discernable audible faults or wear.
Cover
EXCELLENT
A very impressive clean & high-gloss example with a totally unscratched front laminate showing no 'thumbnails' or any other signs of handlingwear. Apart from slight bruising to the lower corner and a few small 'pushes' to the front opening edge, there is little to fault here. The rerar panel is just as clean and glossy with just a thin, faded blue line towards the spine (which could be a printer's error). Both seams are unstressed and unsplit & the spine is fully worded and undamaged.
Inner-sleeve
EXCELLENT
Clean & flat minor storagewear but no split or tears.
- Strict & grading under strong daylight & halogen light based upon UK 'RECORD COLLECTOR' standards.
- I play every record I sell at volume and list all visual and audible faults.
- Unless stated, all records lie 100% flat & play without distortion, jumps or sticks & all sleeves have no writing, splits or tears.
- The listing photos have been taken by myself and are of the actual items for sale.
- All records are packed tightly in strong custom made record boxes with the disc removed from the cover.
