CONDITION
DISC
Labels: EXCELLENT PLUS
A perfect pair with no visible spindle trails around either center hole.
Visual: EXCELLENT PLUS
Both surfaces are clean and glossy, displaying just a few light paper hairlines in strong daylight.
Play:
Side 1: EXCELLENT PLUS
My careful play check at volume found two very light ticks at the beginning of ‘Imagine’ and one very light tick at the band between ‘Imagine’ and ‘Crippled Inside’ and some very light ticks at the run-off. All tracks play cleanly and clearly with no groove wear distortion or any background noise.
Side 2: EXCELLENT
My careful play-check at volume picked up some light ticks at the beginning of 'Oh My Love' and two light pops at the end of ‘Oh Yoko’ but apart from that, there were no other significant audible distractions or wear.
COVER
VERY GOOD PLUS
A clean & glossy example with minor handling wears but no major faults. The front panel displays several 'thumbnail' wrinkles towards the opening edge and a few light edge wrinkles but no heavy creasing or scratching to the laminate. All corners are free form any heavy bumps or bruises and both opening are clean, sharp and unworn. The rear panel bears some small 'thumbnails' but no other signs of wear. Both seams and the fully worded, uncrushed spine are all smooth, unstressed & undamaged.
POSTER
EXCELLENT PLUS
Factory-folded, clean & unhung.
POSTCARD
NEAR MINT
As new.
INNER-SLEEVE
VERY GOOD
With a little age toning to the paper and a few light storage creases but no missing paper.
Grading to UK 'RECORD COLLECTOR' standards.
I carefully play all the records I sell at volume and list all visual and audible faults.
All the photos have been taken by myself and are of the actual items for sale.
All records are securely in custom-made record mailing boxes with the disc removed from the cover.
