Details/Condition
Vinyl:
Fair - Both sides have surface marks and the records exhibit a few occasional pops, expected for a 46 year old album. Both sides also have considerable background crackle, but this is not too intrusive on the audio. There are two jumps on side 1 ("I Saw Her Standing There") and one on side 2 ("Baby It's You"). Both sides have been cleaned using the Moth MkII Pro cleaner and tested on a Trio KD 1033 deck, the cleaning process has, as always, improved the audio compared to the condition it was in when I bought it.
If you wish to hear a digitised sample of this actual copy then please send me your e-mail address and I shall supply you with an MP3 so that you may evaluate the audio for yourself.
Labels:
Side 1: Poor - Sadly this label is severely faded but is fully legible under a light (see photo - although the photo flatters its state somewhat). Has the MT tax code, all 4 McCartney-Lennon numbers carry the Dick James Music publishing credit.
Side 2: Good - "Do You Want To Know A Secret" and "There's A Place" carry the Dick James Music publishing credit, the other 2 McCartney-Lennon numbers carry the Ardmore & Beechwood publishing credit.
Sleeve:
Excellent - The laminated flipback sleeve has maintained it's glossiness well, the spine text is fully legible and bright and the back has maintained its whiteness with minor wear on the lower flipback. No writing, no tears and clean.
Inner Sleeve:
Excellent - Comes with the original polylined Emitex sleeve, no tears. The record will come to you housed in a brand new plain white polylined sleeve which I put it in to immediatley after cleaning.
P&P:
Should the postage and packaging come to less than that offered I will immediatley refund the difference to your PayPal account.
