Record

Labels: EXCELLENT +

Visual: NEAR MINT
Both surfaces are in pristine, 'as new' condition. There are no marks, scuff or scratches visible in daylight or directly beneath halogen light. Very hard to find a better looking disc.

Play: NEAR MINT
Plays as good as it looks - like new. This disc has clearly only been played once or twice on good quality equipment as there is no trace of any background crackle or groovewear distortion anywhere. Even 'Yesterday' and the opening chords to 'I Need You' are completely clean & totally unworn. Both inner tracks also play without any trace of groovewear. Both run-ins & all bands play silently without any interference.

Cover

EXCELLENT
Superb clean, strong & unyellowed example with an glossy, unscratched front laminate which bears just a single 'thumbnail' crease. Apart form a tiny bruise to the upper right corner, this example is pristine. The rear is as clean and white as it was new, with no discolouration, marks, writing or missing paper. There is an almost invisible 2cm upper seam repair but all flipbacks & the spine are in perfect condition.

• 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.
