CONDITION
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT +
A rich and vibrant pair with nothing more than a small collection of spindle trails around each unworn centre hole.
Visual: EXCELLENT
Clean, deep glossy playing surfaces which apart from two harmless stylus hairlines on side 1 are unmarked in strong daylight. Close & careful inspection directly beneath halogen desk lamp reveals nothing more than some harmless faint marks from storage in the black inner-sleeve but no other marks or wear to either side - bot sides of which lie 100% flat on the turntable when playing, with no traces of dishing or warping either side.
Play: EXCELLENT
This copy has received very little play and there is no significant deterioration to the sound quality throughout or indeed any major faults. My careful play-check at volume uncovered just a touch of light crackle on the track 'Yellow Submarine' and a hint of light background during some passages of the orchestral suite on side 2, but no heavy clicks, pops or any other such distraction anywhere.
Cover
EXCELLENT +
A super clean & unworn example with a unscratched, undamaged front panel laminate where the only sign of wear is a light disc impression. There are but no 'thumbnails' or any other creasing. All corners are sharp, square & unbumped and both opening edges clean & unworn. The rear panel has some minor marks which are present in the card itself and is, apart from a faint disc impression, unblemished and free from any writing or missing paper. All flipbacks are clean & undamaged and both seams and the spine are smooth, unstressed and completely unworn.
Inner-sleeve
EXCELLENT +
Clean & flat with just a few minor storage creases but no tears or any seams splits anywhere.
