CONDITION
Labels: EXCELLENT +
A really clean & bright pair showing just a trace of wear around each centre hole.
Visual: EXCELLENT
Extremely clean, deep-gloss playing surfaces which retain all of their 'as new' deep-gloss shine. It's downgraded from an easy 'EX+' due only to a 1.5cm hairline scratch on side 1 which can just be felt. Apart from that is there is little to fault on this well-preserved, barely played copy.
Audio: EXCELLENT
This disc has been seldom played and all tracks play well. The only significant audible blemish comes form the aforementioned scratch which produced some intermittent ticks on 'Misery'. A little background on 'Do You Want To Know A Secret' is also present, but there are no jumps, repeats or any other audible issues.
Cover: EXCELLENT
Such a difficult cover to find, let alone in this fantastic shape. The front panel is clean & glossy with minimal storage rubbing and a single 'thumbnail' wrinkle towards the spine area. The corners are in great shape with no heavy bumps or bruising to any, even the most vulnerable lower right one. The rear panel is brilliant white, super-clean and unblemished. All of the delicate flipbacks are in-place and undamaged and both seams and the spine are in perfect condition. Try to find a better one!
Clean & crisp with light storage wrinkles, but no seams splits, or writing.
