Vinyl: Very Good -
Visually the vinyl shows signs of handling, storage and playback over the years with surface dust, sleeve removal hairlines, scuffs, other types of age related marks, etc. Luckily there are no deep / significant scratches and the labels look generally nice on both sides with no extreme spindle wear to be found. Overall it presents quite nicely under normal light and you have to look closer to pick out it's marks.
It has all the visual signs for a strong VG sounding disc, but unfortunately the audio playback is what gives this record it's Very Good - grading. The record plays through from beginning to end without any jumps or skips and it has a surprisingly quiet noise floor as far as background surface noise goes, but unfortunately the record has audible signs of having been played on uncalibrated / damaged equipment throughout. The run-ins are generally quiet and the first tracks of each side generally start off strongly, but there is an audible high frequency distortion / crackle that begins to appear on the songs that then becomes more noticeable going further into each side.
Depending on your methods of playing the record, this distortion could stick out like a sore thumb or it can also be slipped into the background and overshadowed by the music. I listened on headphones with a cheaper deck and it was very obvious to me there, but when played on a higher end deck and having summed the output summed to mono, it was still a quite listenable and enjoyable LP from beginning to end with the distortion having been made much quieter. It's quite a shame that this LP has this type of wear as otherwise it would have been a super strong playing copy. If you can look (or listen!) past the wear, it's still a very enjoyable copy and the alternate version of Tomorrow Never Knows still gives a nice insight into all of the mix differences.
Cover: Very Good -
The original Garrod & Lofthouse flipback cover is in Very Good - condition. It's still holding together decently but it does show it's wear too. It still has plenty of white on the front compared to most of the covers still out there but there is some slight laminate wear and some patches of dirt too with some minor staining in certain places and some wear to the corners. The flipbacks show some minor signs of wear / creasing and unfortunately some laminate has lifted around the spine text between two cracks, but it doesn't affect the integrity of the cover and everything still holds together quite well. Some of the wear cuts a little bit into the spine text but it's luckily still fully legible. The cover has definitely seen better days but it still manages to present quite nicely. It's not the worst I've ever had but it's not the freshest by any means either.
The original inner sleeve is present but with some signs of wear on it's seams. A new anti-static archival inner will be included for free!
I'm willing to combine postage on multiple purchases. Any questions, please give me a shout! Thank you
