1963 UK 'CROSSOVER' GOLD & BLACK LABEL MONO LP

CONDITION

Disc

Labels: VERY GOOD PLUS

There is a small, barely visible name written in ballpoint on side 1 label (above the 'Parlo..).
It is only visible at a certain angle in direct light. I have not altered/touched-up the image. More photos can be requested.

Visual: VERY GOOD MINUS

Very heavy and thick vinyl retaining a reasonable gloss finish with no serious 'groove whitening'.
Both sides display many light sleeve removal hairlines and light scratches, but no deep or 'feelable' marks.
100% flat on the turntable with no dishing or warping.

Audio: VERY GOOD

I have played this copy loudly so I can give you an accurate audible report of this LP.
There is some groovewear audible on 'I Saw Her Standing There' but elsewhere it is present only intermittantly on some loud peaks.
Otherwise the sound is clean and clear and there is little else to fault apart from a few soft 'ticks' between some tracks.
There are NO loud clicks/pops, jumps or repeats anywhere.

Cover

Cover: VERY GOOD

A clean and strong cover displaying moderate storage and handling wear.
The front panel is clean but has some wear to the corners and opening edge but no tears or splits.
The rear panel is fairly clean with some small stains but no writing, serious marks or missing paper .
The spine is clean and the text readable and all flipbacks are present and the main seams are undamaged and unsplit.

Strict visual & audible gradings under intense direct light & at volume on high-end audio equipment
