Disc

Labels: NEAR MINT

Just a single tiny spindle mark on each label.

Visual: NEAR MINT

Both surfaces of this 'as new' copy are in 'MINT' condition when viewed in daylight with no surface marks, scratches or any other signs of mishandling or wear.
Close and careful inspection of both sides directly under my halogen desk lamp reveals a bright rainbow shine & just a few barely visible wispy paper hairlines from initial inner-sleeve removal.
There is just a hint of uneveness when being played on the turntable, but this does not affect sound or play in any way.

Audio: NEAR MINT

The combination of heavy compression used when recording and a low volume cut, make perfect sounding copies of this title, extremely rare & hard to find.
However, in this case I am pleased to report that this copy is an exception and represents an rare opportunity to appreciate a pristine version of the outstanding mono mix.
Having been played just once on top quality equipment, the entire LP plays 'as new' with no trace of groove/peakwear distortion or background noise.
The guitar riff on 'Taxman' is clean, sharp and undistorted and other problem areas such as; 'Eleanor Rigby' & 'Here There & Everywhere' both play perfectly.
Even the exposed introduction of 'Love You To', the easily worn final chorus of 'Yellow Submarine' and the entire 'She Said, She Said' are totally unworn.
Side 2 is a joy and 100% fault-free. Both run-ins and all bands play totally silently without any intereference.
Apart form a single faint tick on 'I'm Only Sleeping', this is a perfect sounding copy which will not disappoint.

Cover: EXCELLENT PLUS

This great example retains a pristine white & unyellowed front panel with a unscratched, high-gloss front lamiante which bears just a single tiny 'thumbnail' crease, but no other signs of wear.
All the corners are clean & square with no signs of bumps or bruising. Both opening edges are perfectly clean and sharp with no indentations, tears or feathering.
The rear panel is clean and black where it should be and free from any ringwear, storage marks, writing, missing paper or any other wear.
There is some very natural, faint toning to the flipbacks but they are all intact and undamaged.
Both seams and the spine are in perfect, undamaged and unworn condition.

Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT

Slight toning but otherwise crisp, clean, flat with no tears or splits.
