CONDITION

Disc

Labels: EXCELLENT +

A nice clean & unworn pair with no more than a small handful of light, well-aimed spindle marks around reach unworn centre hole.

Visual: EXCELLENT +

Immaculate deep-gloss playing surfaces which retain all of their factory shine and with no noticeable surface marks in strong daylight. Closer inspection directly beneath my unforgiving halogen desk lamp reveals a single pin-head-sized 'bump' in the vinyl itself at the beginning of track 4 on side 1, otherwise the only other visual blemishes are a few harmless wispy paper hairlines. Both sides of this very heavy, high-quality pressing lie 1000% flat on the turntable when playing.

Sound Quality: EXCELLENT +

Anyone who has tried to find a decent sounding copy of this pressing knows how hard it is. So, here is an opportunity to acquire a great sounding, barely played copy which plays clearly and cleanly and is free from groove/playwear distortion or annoying background crackle which blight so many copies of this LP. My single careful play-check at volume detected only a few light clicks towards the end of 'Eleanor Rigby' & a few soft 'pops' due to the aforementioned bump on 'Love You To'. Apart from these minor audible blemishes, there is precious little to fault and much to enjoy.

Cover: EXCELLENT

A strong and unworn example where the only real issue is that of age-toning discolouration. The striking front panel retains an unscratched and unworn high-gloss laminate bearing only a single thumbnail wrinkle towards its opening edge.

All corners are in great unworn shape and free from any bumps or bruising. Both opening edges are perfectly sharp and totally unworn along their entire lengths. The exposed rear panel is deep black where it should be with no trace of any ring wear or storage rubbing.

Both seam are smooth & unstressed and the spine is fully laminated & worded.

Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT

Again, age-toning is the only issue here as this is flat & uncreased and without any writing, seam splits or tears.
