Condition
Disc 1
Labels: EXCELLENT
A few light creases made during manufacture on label 1.
Visual: EXCELLENT
Both sides are extremely clean & glossy and apart from one or two very light fingernail lines, both surfaces appear unmarked in daylight. Some light inner-sleeve removal hairlines can be seen under halogen light but there are no significant or major marks or scratches anywhere.
Audio: EXCELLENT -
Carefully played on good quality equipment, no groovewear distortion or background crackle audible anywhere (even on the fade in to 'Dear Prudence'). Apart from a few dull pops on the opening plane effect on 'Back In The USSR' and a few light ticks on the introdutions to '..Bungalow Bill' & 'Blackbird', there are no significant or major faults.
Disc 2
Labels: NEAR MINT
Just a single, tiny spindle line on label 3.
Visual: EXCELLENT -
As clean & glossy as the first disc with just some faint marks from inner-sleeve removal. However, there are no major or significant marks or scratches. The disc lies slightly unevenly on the turntable but this does not affect sound or play in any way.
Audio: EXCELLENT
Again, no groovewear distortion or background noise anywhere. Apart from a few light clicks on 'Revolution #9', there are no audible wear or faults.
Cover
EXCELLENT -
Made of thick, heavy card stock, this example retains an undamaged front laminate with no scratches, pitting or marks. There are some areas of toning most notably on the rear panel where there is some 'rippling' marks towards the lower left corner. The corners and top opening edges are all clean, sharp and undamaged and despite some split to the spine laminate, all the wording is clean & readable.
Photos: NEAR MINT
Poster: EXCELLENT -
There is a crease down the centre but no other wear.
Inners: VERY GOOD
