CONDITION

Labels: MINT -

A superb set where the only trace of wear is one or two light spindle trails around each centre hole.

Visual: MINT -

Pristine deep-gloss playing surfaces which are 'as new' and unmarked in strong daylight, with just a tiny 2mm spot on track 3 on side 2 visible beneath halogen light keeping it from the top grade. You won't find a better looking disc.

Audio: MINT -

Played just 2/3 times at most, the sound quality is flawless & wonderful throughout.

Cover: EXCELLENT +

Hard enough to find in any condition let alone in this superior state. The front panel is perfectly clean & glossy with no rubbing or scratches. There is just a single small 'thumbnail' wrinkle on Ringo's eye, but that really is all there is to show for 55 years of handling. There is some minor bruising to the corners but both opening edges are clean & undamaged. The rear panel is immaculate and totally blemish-free. All of the flipbacks, seams and spine are in perfect condition. You will not be disappointed.

Inner-sleeve: MINT -

As new.
