Condition
Labels: 1. VERY GOOD + 2. EXCELLENT
A clean, vibrant set with light 'bubbling' to some of the silver text on the 'Love Me Do' label, but no writing, stains or missing paper.
Visual: VERY GOOD
Both sides are clean but display an occaisional light scratch and numerous wispy hairlines under halogen light. However, there are no major marks or deep scratches anywhere.
Audio: VERY GOOD +
Although this disc has received frequent play, both sides play with a rich and clear bass and without any major faults. Some light background is audible in the breaks as are a few light ticks on the fade-out of 'Love Me Do' and the run-in on 'P.S. I Love You'. However there are no major faults to either side.
Cover: EXCELLENT
- 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
