CONDITION
Disc
Labels: NEAR MINT
An immaculate pair with just a single spindle mark to each unworn centre hole. There is even a section of the silver centre hole marks visible around the side 1 centre hole.
Visual: MINT
Pristine 'as new' playing surfaces which are totally unmarked and 'factory-fresh' both in strong daylight AND directly beneath my unforgiving halogen desk lamp -not even a wispy paper hairlines in sight. You won't find a cleaner copy anywhere.
Play: EXCELLENT
Although it is likely that this 45 has been played only once I have downgraded due to some distortion towards the end of 'Paperback Writer' and on 'Rain'. However, I think this is a pressing/cutting issue rather than playwear as I have yet to hear a perfect sounding UK copy of this 45.
Sleeve
EXCELLENT -
Minor storagewear with a small nick to one side but no writing, or seam splits.
