CONDITION
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT +
A fine set with no more the 2/3 tiny spindle trails with a touch of wear to the 'I Am the Walrus' centre hole.
Visual: NEAR MINT
Pristine deep-gloss playing surfaces which are 'as new' & unmarked in strong daylight, with just a few barely visible wispy paper hairlines visible directly beneath my unforgiving halogen desk lamp.
Sound Quality: NEAR MINT
Both tracks play perfectly cleanly & clearly with no trace of any groove/playwear or indeed any other audible distractions.
Cover: EXCELLENT
Clean & flat with some age-toning on the reverse but no writing, tears or seam splits.
