The vinyl visually grades VG with lots of fine sleeve removal marks and hairlines under strong light. No feelable or deep scratches. Both records have a warp (record 2 more pronounced) from storage. This didn’t cause a problem on my turntable (Thorens 321, Linn Basik LVX , Goldring Cartridge 2100, set at 1.75g) The album has been fully play tested and plays much better than it looks and is a very decent original playing copy.
Side 1 plays EX with no crackle or background noise. Quiet between tracks and lovely clear audio throughout.
Side 2 plays around VG+ overall. A little crackle on the run ins and a few quiet sections only. One light pop and a couple of soft clicks. Overall the sound is predominantly clear of crackle and where it is evident it is very low level and barely audible/very soft. A little noise through Julia but again nothing major. Very decent sound overall.
Side 3 plays VG+. Very similar to side 2 with a few light crackles here and there and between tracks. 2 or 3 soft clicks in space between Sexy Sadie and Helter Skelter. Mostly very clear.
Side 4 plays VG+ with light background crackle and a couple of very soft clicks in some of the quiet sections only.
No sticks, jumps, loud clicks or loud pops on any side. Overall play grade is VG+ with occasional light crackle here and there. Nothing that comes close to overpowering the music and a very decent playing copy.
The sleeve grades VG to VG+ overall. A few light scuffs and marks, initials inside gatefold and a little wear on opening edge. Certainly no major damage and no splits/ tears, etc.
The original inners are VG- with small tears from the centre holes. I will include 2 brand new poly lined black inners along with the originals.
The photos are EX+. Really nice condition.
No Poster!
Overall this is a clearly well played copy and not perfect visually, but still a very decent playing copy with very nice audio overall.
