Discs
All Labels: NEAR MINT
Just one or two small small spindle marks to each.
Visual: NEAR MINT
All four sides appear totally 'as new' in strong daylight and reveal just a few insignificant inner-sleeve paper hairlines beaneath halogen light. There really is little to fault on this extremely well looked-after & barely played set.
Audio: NEAR MINT
Both discs have received possibly just one or two careful plays on top equipment. All tracks play completely without any groovewear distortion or background noise and all run-ins and bands are silent. Even the easily playworn 'Your Mother Should Know' & delicate introductions/fades to 'I Am The Walrus' & 'Fool On The Hill' play perfectly with no ticks or clicks. Elsewhere all is 'as new' with no discernable audible faults anywhere on this impressive sounding copy.
Cover
EXCELLENT +
An clean & unblemished example with vibrant, undamaged front and rear panels. All corners are square with just a tiny shelfwear rub to the lower left. The spine is unbent and completely unworn and all staples are clean and unrusted inside & out. All inside pages are clean and undamaged with the blue lyric sheet still firmly attached to all its stapes.
Inner-sleeves
EXCELLENT +
Some very light storagewear but no seam splits.
- Strict & grading under strong daylight & halogen light based upon UK 'RECORD COLLECTOR' standards.
- I play every record I sell at volume on high-end audio equipment 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.
- The listing photos have been taken by myself and are of the actual items for sale.
- All records are packed strongly & securely in custom-made record maling boxes with the disc removed from the cover. All text & images © Bright Field Music 2008
