CONDITION
Labels: EXCELLENT +
A clean, vibrant set bearing just a few light spindle trails on the 'P.S. I Love You' centre, but no writing, touch-up or missing paper.
Visual: VERY GOOD +
Both surfaces are very clean & bright showing just a a few light surface marks and paper hairlines under halogen light. However there are no deep or feelable marks or scratches aynwhere on this very well looked after copy.
Audio: EXCELLENT
Outstanding sound quality. Both sides play cleanly & clearly throughout with a surpringly rich bass with sharp & clear undistorted highs. Apart from some normal light background on each run-in, there is little to fault audibly. No other subsequent issue of this track comes close to matching the sound quality of this pressing.
