Condition
Labels: EXCELLENT
Clean & bright with numerous spindle trails to both, but no major faults.
Visual: VERY GOOD
Both surfaces are clean and bright in strong daylight with just some light surface marks consistant with frequent handling and play but nothing I would call a scratch. Close & careful inspection directly beneath my halogen desk lamp reveals just a few insignificant hairlines and inner-sleeve removal marks but again nothing major. Both sides lie 100% flat on the turntable with no dishing or warping.
Play: VERY GOOD +
This copy has clearly been played many times but has not been abused or overplayed and there is no significant deterioration to the sound quality or any major faults throughout. My careful play-check at volume detected just a touch of playwear on the final chorus of 'Yellow Submarine' but no other faults or wear to side 1. The orchestral side is overall clean & clear with just an occaisional soft 'pop' but no other major interference. The mono 'Hey Bulldog' is definately the highlight of this extremely listenable copy.
Cover
VERY GOOD -
This bright and strong example displays some moderate/general handling and storagewear but has no major faults throughout. The front panel is clean & glossy with no heavy creasing or wear. The rear panel has some dirty handling marks but no writing or missing paper. There are small 1.5cm stresses to the upper & lower seams but the all flipbacks & the spine are undamaged.
Inner-sleeve
VERY GOOD -
General handling & storagewear with 2 small tears to the centre hole and top edge together with a single side seam split.
- Strict & grading under strong daylight & directly beneath a halogen desk lamp to UK 'RECORD COLLECTOR' standards.
- I carefully play every record I sell on a $5,000 Rega P9 turntable at volume and list all visual and audible faults.
- All the photos in this listing have been taken by myself and are of the actual items for sale.
- All records are professionally & securely in custom-made record mailing boxes with the disc removed from the cover.
- Please take a look at my About Me page for more details.
