Visual: EXCELLENT
Both sides are clean and bright, retaining their 'as new' deep gloss shines. Apart form two very faint surface lines on side 2, they are totally unmarked in daylight and show no further marks or wear at all beneath halogen light.
Play: EXCELLENT
This copy has been barely played and the high quality sound is clean & clear throughout. Apart from a few light ticks on the introduction to 'You Never Give Me Your Money' there are no further traces whatsoever of audible wear on this fine copy. Even the delicate introduction on 'Here Comes The Sun' plays perfectly.
Cover
EXCELLENT -
A clean & glossy example of this rare cover with just a few small 'thumbnail' wrinkles and minor storagewear but no major faults. There is a tiny white area on the rear panel (next to the 'Beatles') which appears to be a manufacturing flaw and not damage. Both seams and the spine are strong, unstressed and unsplit.
Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT
Light storagewear but no major faults.
- Strict & grading under strong daylight & halogen light based upon UK 'RECORD COLLECTOR' standards.
- I play every record I sell at volume on high-end audio equipment and list all visual and audible faults.
- Unless stated, all records lie 100% flat & play without distortion, jumps or sticks. All sleeves/covers have no writing, splits or tears.
- The listing photos have been taken by myself and are of the actual items for sale.
- All records are packed strongly & securely in custom-made record maling boxes with the disc removed from the cover. All text & images © Bright Field Music 2008
