Condition
Labels: EXCELLENT
Visual: VERY GOOD +
Both surfaces are very clean and bright with the only significant marks visible in daylight being two light fingernail scuff lines on side 2. Close and careful inspection of both sides directly under a halogen desk lamp reveals just an occaisional light stylus scratch and some wispy inner-sleeve/paper hairlines only. A thick, heavy pressing which lies 100% flat both sides on the turntable with no signs or dishing or warping.
Play: VERY GOOD
This copy has received moderate but careful play and displays no major auduble faults or wear. There is some light crackle on the first few lines of 'Taxman' and a few light ticks in the breaks on 'I'm Only Sleeping'. There is also some playwear on 'Eleanor Rigby', 'Here, There & Everywhere' and 'She Said, She Said' but all tracks play without any further significant or major wear. Happily the outstanding alternate mix of 'Tomorrow Never Knows' plays without fault.
Cover
EXCELLENT
A clean white & firm example with an unyellowed front panel which bears no significant signs of wear. Apart from some light shelfwear to the lower corners, all are in excellent shape with no major bumps or bruises. Both opening edges are sharp and unworn and the rear panel is clean & black with no writing or missing paper. All flipbacks, the seams and the spine are fully intact and 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.
