CONDITION
Disc
Labels: MINT
Both are in perfect condition with just a single faint mark to the 'b' side centre hole from factory storage.
Visual: EXCELLENT +
Exceptionally clean, deep-gloss playing surfaces which are unmarked in strong daylight with just some light wispy sleeve storage marks directly beneath my unforgiving halogen desk lamp.
Sound Quality: EXCELLENT +
This barely played copy shows no visual signs of play and both tracks play superbly. My single careful play-check at volume detected a touch of light background on the delicate 1st verse of 'Let It Be', but no trace of any groove/playwear or any other audible distractions on either side.
Cover: EXCELLENT +
Clean & firm with no bends, creasing or storagewear rubbing to the front or rear panels. In fact, apart from tiny rubs to the corner's extremities, there is little to fault on this well-preserved example.
