CONDITION
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT +
Both are extremely clean & bright with just a touch of wear to around the side 2 centre hole but no noticeable spindle trails to either or wear to the hole itself.
Visual: EXCELLENT +
Pristine deep-gloss playing surfaces which retain all of thier 'as new' deep-gloss shine in strong daylight with just a few barely visible inner-sleeve removal marks on side 2 but definitely no scuffs or scratches to either side. Closer inspection directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp reveals nothing more than a few harmless wispy paper scuffs from inner-sleeve removal and a sparkling rainbow gloss. Both sides of this outstanding copy lie 100% flat on the turntable when playing.
Play: NEAR MINT
So hard to find a nice sounding mono copy of this LP but this copy is defininely the exception to the rule. It has received only minimal careful play on top-quality equipment by its previous audiophile owner and my single careful play-check at volume detected absolutely no trace whatsoever of any groove/play-wear on any track. Even the delicate 'Eleanor Rigby' and 'Here, There & Everywhere' play perfectly without any of the usual background interference or break-up. Both run-ins and all bands are silent and there are no clicks, pops or any other such distraction on this superior sounding copy which will not disappoint.
Cover:
NEAR MINT
An outstanding example of this rare cover of which I have not seen better. The front panel is perfectly clean & unyellowed and is free from any 'thumbnail' or spine wrinkles. All corners are perfectly sharp, square and unworn and both opening edges appear untouched. The rear panel is perfectly clean & black where it should be with no ringwear, writing or missing paper. All of the distinctive wider flipbacks are clean & in-place and both seams and are unstressed & unsplit. There is a tiny 1mm scratch to the spine but it is otherwise clean, straight and fully worded. Tough to find better.
Inner-sleeve
EXCELLENT +
Clean & flat with just a few faint handling wrinkles, but no writing, tears or seam splits.
