CONDITION
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT +
An extremely clean & unworn pair with just a handful of faint spindle trails around each totally unworn centre hole.
Visual: EXCELLENT
Both playing surfaces are clean & retain their deep-gloss shines with just some light turntable scuffs and inner-sleeve removal marks visible in strong daylight. Closer examination directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp reveals just a single 1.5cm hairline on side 1 together with a sparkling rainbow shine. Both sides of this quality disc lie 100% flat on the turntable when playing.
Sound Quality: EXCELLENT
This fine sounding copy has received just a handful of careful play on excellent equipment and every track is totally free from any groove/playwear distortion. My single careful playcheck at volume detected some light repeating ticks at the end of 'Taxman' into half of 'Eleanor Rigby due to the aforementioned hairline but no background crackle or interference anywhere. Side 2 plays flawlessly and would grade NM alone.
Cover: VERY GOOD +
A strong and firm example with moderate age/storage wear but no major faults. The front panel has yellowed and displays a light disc impression from storage along with two spine bends but no other significant wear. There is light shelfwear bruising to the lower corners but both opening edges are in good shape with no tears or feathering. The rear panel bears some signs of storage but is otherwise clean and free from any writing or missing paper.
All flipbacks are clean & fully intact and both the seams & the spine are unstressed & unsplit.
Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT
Clean & flat with some age-toning but no heavy creasing, writing, tears or seam splits.
