Condition

Labels: VERY GOOD +

Numerous spindle trails but no major faults elsewhere.

Visual: VERY GOOD +

clean & bright surfaces which in strong daylight display just a few faint surface marks consistent with inner-sleeve removal but no other significant or major blemishes. Careful inspection directly under my halogen desk lamp reveals nothing more than a few light fingernail lines but nothing I would call a scratch. Both sides lie 100% flat on the turntable on both sides, with no signs or dishing or warping.

Play: EXCELLENT -

This great sounding copy has received frequent but careful play but still sounds clean & bright throughout with no traces of groovewear. In fact, apart from a touch of light background on 'And I Love Her', there is no significant or major deterioration to the sound quality any major faults.

Cover

VERY GOOD +

A clean & strong example with a fine high-gloss front laminate which bears just a few minor 'thumbnails' & edge wrinkles but no major creasing or wear. The corners are slightly bruised but both opening edges are clean & sharp. The rear panel is clean and white with no marks, writing or missing paper. All flipbacks, both seams and the spine are fully intact & undamaged.

Inner-sleeve

VERY GOOD

Flat & white with just a small repair to the lower seam and a small stain to one side.


  • Strict & grading under strong daylight & directly beneath a halogen desk lamp to UK 'RECORD COLLECTOR' standards.
  • I carefully play every record I sell on a $5,000 Rega P9 turntable at volume and list all visual and audible faults.
  • Unless stated, all records lie 100% flat & play without distortion, jumps or sticks. All sleeves/covers have no writing, splits or tears.
  • All the photos in this listing have been taken by myself and are of the actual items for sale.
  • All records are professionally & securely in custom-made record mailing boxes with the disc removed from the cover.
