Condition
Labels: EXCELLENT
Visual: EXCELLENT
Both surfaces are extremely clean and bright and retain thier 'as new' deep gloss shines with no dull areas or clouding. Viewed in strong daylight, one or two very faint surface marks are visible but there are no scratches or any other significant signs of wear. Close and careful inspection of both sides directly under a halogen desk lamp reveals just a few wispy inner-sleeve removal/paper hairlines but no further marks or any scratches. The heavy 163g pressing which lies 100% flat both sides on the turntable with no signs or dishing or warping.
Play: EXCELLENT
It is clear from the silent side 1 run in and undistorted 'Taxman' guitar riff, that this copy has received only some careful, light play on good quality equipment. The easily worn 'Eleanor Rigby' plays without any of the usual crackle and despite a hint of light background on 'Here, There & Everywhere', there is nothing here to spoil the enjoyment. Side two plays cleanly, clearly and is entirely without fault. It is crowned by the outstanding alternate mix of 'Tomorrow Never Knows'. Both run-ins and all bands play without intereference and there are no clicks, pops jumps or repeats anywhere.
Cover
VERY GOOD +
A clean & firm example with a bright front panel which bears no significant signs of wear. There is some bruising to the corners but both opening edges are clean and undamaged. The rear panel displays some minor storagewear but is free from any writing or missing paper. All flipbacks are intact and both seams and the spine are undamaged.
- 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.
