LABELS: VERY GOOD++
Clean, bright and unmarked labels with numerous spindle traces
VINYL Visual: EXCELLENT-
Both surfaces retain their original deep glossy sheen with no dulling. There are some hairline marks and scuffs but none of these have any real audio consequence
VINYL Audio: EXCELLENT+
An impressively produced and engineered album with beautifully deep, rich and extremely warm audio - one of The Beatles' finest sounding records.
My play-check at loud volume revealed no major audio issues of note and although this copy has been well played there are no signs of groove-wear or distortion, no surface noise to speak of and no scratches - the playback is beautifully clean.
This copy has clearly only ever been played on a top-end system and it sounds great
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT+
The fully laminated G&L sleeve is clean and bright and practically unworn with a beautiful deep,deep glossy sheen.
The sleeve is very thin and flat with crisp, sharp and straight edges and all text on the (very) thin spine is clear and bold
INNER SLEEVE: VERY GOOD++
The black inner sleeve with the central die-cut hole on one side only is in very nice condition.
This is the original as issued with the LP in 1969 and not one of the readily available brand new replacements - this one has some obvious age to it but it's still in great shape with just two small nicks - one to the die-cut section and one to the corner of the opening edge - there are no seam splits
ALL RECORDS ARE PACKAGED WITH THE VINYL OUTSIDE OF THE SLEEVE TO PREVENT ANY 'KNIFING' DURING TRANSIT
A PROTECTIVE POLY SLEEVE, NEW INNER SLEEVE WITH ANTI-STATIC LINER, QUALITY BOX (NOT ENVELOPE) MAILER AND AMPLE STIFFENERS ARE ALWAYS USED TO ENSURE THAT YOUR RECORD ARRIVES SAFELY
