Condition
All Labels: EXCELLENT
Disc 1
Visual: EXCELLENT
Pristine, clean surfaces, all retaining a deep gloss shine with no dull patches or groovewhitening. An occaisional non-feeable stylus hairline scratch is present together with a few wispy paper hairlines are visible under halogen light.
Audio: EXCELLENT
Carefully played on good quality equipment, there is no groovewear distortion or background crackle audible anywhere. Apart from a few light clicks on 'Wild Honey Pie', 'Rocky Raccoon' & Julia', there are no significant or major faults.
Disc 2
Visual: EXCELLENT
As clean & glossy as the first disc with just some light inner-sleeve removal marks under halogen light but no significant wear or scratches.
Audio: EXCELLENT
Again, no groovewear distortion or background noise anywhere. There are some light clicks for a few revolutions on 'Sexy Sadie' and at the end of 'Long, Long, Long', but otherwise there is no further wear or faults.
Cover
EXCELLENT
Made from thicker card stock, this exmaple is very clean & still white, with no yellowing to any panel. There is slight bruising to the upper left & lower right corners but no damage to the top opening edges. The inside is clean & white and clearly unopened for many years. Despite some split laminate on the spine, all the wording is clean & readable. A very solid & clean example.
Inners: VERY GOOD
A few small tears to the centre hole but no missing paper
Poster: EXCELLENT -
Light handling wear but no tears or holes.
Photos: NEAR MINT
