VG+.
I gave her a gentle professional clean with a Pro-Ject VC-S MkII vacuum record cleaner and then listened to her-all the way through.
I grade this as such, due to just VERY light hairline marks to both sides just from removal and replacement to the inner-GORGEOUS
....SOUNDS SUPERB!...
Only a tiny bit of OCCASIONAL background noise-really not worth mentioning as she is very quiet on the run-ins and inbetween tracks
Q-U-A-L-I-T-Y
Lovely and rich sound.
Still has the glorious sheen and is lovely and flat.
IT HAS BEEN A VERY LONG TIME SINCE I HAVE HEARD THIS ALBUM WITH SUCH AUDIO CLARITY AND BASS RESPONSE-MAGICAL
Labels:
EX!
Lovely and clear...Only a handful of light spindle marks-visible only when angled towards the light.
Has the 1st type Sans Serf text to side 1 BUT Roman type 2 to side 2.
Outer text "The Gramophone co.LTD"
DOES have the "Sold in the uk.." text.
Really nice-NO hole wear and no writing or scratches etc.
Please see the detailed images provided.
Cover:
EX-.
Lovely and bright...with very little fading to the front white laminate and zero discolouration to the back card, which remains as WHITE as the day she was bought-almost 50 years ago!
Lovely strong & clear spine.
Minimal spidering to the laminate! Only 5 small fingers of spidering eminating from the spine and 7 small crescents of spidering near the opening.
Only very slight rubbing/knocking to the corners.
There is a small amount of pen marks to the top on the back-it looks like somebody tried to work a sum out on it...
Please see the detailed images provided.
I am being very critical
Wondefully strong Garrod & Lofthouse flipbacks.
ALSO HAS THE "PATENTS PENDING" STATEMENT TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER.
Inner:
EX+!
It is the original white die-cut inner, with just some very light creasing and slight discolouration.
CERTAINLY NO SPLITS/TEARS OR WRITING!
REMAINS WHITE IN COLOUR
She has certainly kept this record in a wonderful condition.
SO, FOLKS, THIS IS A GREAT COPY OF THE BEATLES' HELP ALBUM-PROVIDING SUPERB AUDIO-ALL COMPLETE-ALL IN WONDERFUL CONDITION TOO.
