CONDITION
VINYLS / Audio - EXCELLENT
Records play VERY WELL with smallest amount of audible noise VERY light background crackle/static on Martha my dear, and Savoy Truffle. Otherwise the run ins and between tracks were virtually silent on my test play !!! Disc one doesn't sit completely flat on the turntable, with a very slight warp but plays lovely, but worth mentioning,
AN ABSOLUTELY GREAT AUDIO PLAYBACK EXPERIENCE ON MY HIGH END REGA SET UP !!!
Visually when tilted in strong light, a couple of small hairline marks can be seen on each side but Very Glossy and clean overall, still maintaining a mirror like finish, SEE ALL PICTURES !!
LOVELY CONDITION EVEN AFTER 53 YEARS !!!!
Labels - EXCELLENT
Apple labels in GREAT condition with no spindle wear, marks or writing / stickers etc, LOVELY !!
Outer Numbered 0520990 Gatefold Sleeve - EXCELLENT
Minor wear only Good seams little wear evident at the spine Very light ring wear Nice laminated sheen, including inside gatefold correctly showing stereo embossed on rear & on the Front Numbered 0520990, and embossed The Beatles
A REALLY NICE EXAMPLE !!! SEE ALL PICTURES AND USE ZOOM TO SELF ASSESS, ONE OF THE BETTER ONES IVE SEEN !!
