Condition
Labels: VERY GOOD +
Numerous spindle marks and slight hole wear but no major faults.
Visual: VERY GOOD +
Both surfaces are clean and glossy with just a few light surface marks to each side when examined in strong daylight, but nothing I would call a scratch Close and careful inspection of both sides directly under a halogen desk lamp reveals a sparkling rainbow shine and some wispy paper hairlines but no major marks or wear.
Play: VERY GOOD +
This copy has received frequent but careful play but there is no major deterioration to the sound throughout or any major faults. My careful playcheck revealed just a touch of light background on 'Eleanor Rigby' and 'Here, There & Everywhere' but no clicks, pops or any other major signs of wear. Side 2 plays slightly better and the superior, alternate mix of 'Tomorrow Never Knows' with its differently mixed sound-effects and extended fade-out plays without fault.
Cover
EXCELLENT
A very clean & strong example with just some light/normal handling & storagewear but no major faults. The front panel is clean & glossy with just a few small laminate wrinkles and a small bruise to the upper left corner. There are a few tiny 'pushes' to the rear opening edge but the rear panel itself is clean & black with just a hint of storagewear rubbing but no writing or missing paper. All flipbacks clean & intact and both seams and the spine are unstressed & undamaged.
Inner-sleeve
VERY GOOD +
Some age-toning to the paper & light handling wear but no major faults.
