VINYL VISUAL : WITH A NICE SHEEN, UNFORTUNATELY THERE ARE A FEW SMALL SURFACE MARKS VISIBLE, TWO FEELABLE ONES WHICH DID GIVE 3 LIGHT SKIPS AND SOME 30 OR SO CONTINUOUS CLICKS ON SIDE ONE. (SEE BELOW) OTHERWISE JUST A FEW LIGHT SUPERFICIAL MARKS. CAREFULLY PLAYED A FEW TIMES IN TOTAL THEN STORED. VISUALLY VERY GOOD CONDITION.
VINYL PLAYBACK : WITH A LOUD CUT MONO FIRST PRESS BASSY SOUND, I EVEN HAD TO TURN THE VOLUME DOWN. UNFORTUNATELY THERE ARE SOME CLICKS AND THEN 3 LIGHT SKIPS ON THE START OF 'SGT. PEPPERS' AND THE 30 OR SO CLICKS, SOME HEAVY ON THE START OF 'WITH A LITTLE HELP..' ON SIDE ONE AS MENTIONED ABOVE. THE REST OF THE ALBUM HAS THE DYNAMIC MUSIC CRISP AND RIGHT TO THE FORE WITH SOME LIGHT BACKGROUND CRACKLE AND POPS, MAINLY AT THE START OF 'SHE'S LEAVING HOME'. SIDE TWO PLAYS THROUGH NICELY WITH JUST A LITTLE RANDOM CRACKLE IN THE QUIET PARTS AND SOME LIGHT CLICKS ON 'GOOD MORNING'. THERE IS NOTHING REALLY INTRUSIVE THAT DETRACTS FROM A SUPERB SOUNDING ALBUM. THIS STILL SOUNDS GREAT BUT WITH THOSE SKIPS AND CLICKS AS MENTIONED.
DIFFICULT TO GRADE THIS ONE AS IT MAY PLAY BETTER OR WORSE ON YOUR SYSTEM. THEREFORE OVERALL IN VERY GOOD AUDIO CONDITION DUE TO THE MENTIONED ISSUES ON MY SYSTEMS PLAYBACK. PLEASE BEAR THIS IN MIND WHEN BIDDING AS I WILL NOT ACCEPT RETURNS ON THIS ONE AS I HAVE MENTIONED THE SLIGHT SKIPS AND CLICKS.
