CONDITION
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT
A clean & vibrant pair with display just a small number of light spindle trails but no other traces of wear.
Visual: EXCELLENT +
Both playing surface are extremely clean and retain all of their 'as new' deep gloss shines and are free from any surface marks or wear of any kind in strong daylight. Closer examination beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp reveals only the lightest of inner-sleeve storage marks on side 2 but there really is nothing else to fault visually on this outstanding disc which lies 100% flat on the turntable when playing.
Play: EXCELLENT
This well looked after copy has received minimal careful play and contains no significant or major audible faults. My single careful play-check at volume uncovered some intermittent light background crackle but no groovewear distortion or any clicks, ticks or pops on or between any of these outstanding tracks.
Cover: EXCELLENT -
A respectable example of this fragile cover which displays minor handling/storage wear but no major faults. The delicate front leaf is clean and flat and retains a high-gloss, unrubbed laminate with just a single small indentation on Ringo's ear but the exposed outer edges are sharp & free from any tears or feathering. The inside of the gatefold displays a little toning to the outer white areas but is free form any writing or missing paper. Both ends of the delicate central hinge are unsplit and undamaged & the rear panel is clean & unworn. The spine is fully laminated and worded and all seams are unstressed.
Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT
Clean & crisp with minimal age-toning but no writing, tears or seam splits.
