CONDITION
Disc
Labels: NEAR MINT
A superb clean & unworn set with no more than a small handful of tiny faint spindle trails around each totally unworn centre hole.
Visual: NEAR MINT
Pristine deep-gloss playing surface which shine 'as new' in strong daylight where the only visual blemish is a faint 3cm surface line on side 2. Even close examination directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp reveals no further visual marks or wear of any kind - not even a wispy paper hairlines in sight. To top it all, both sides of this high-quality disc lie 100% flat on the turntable when playing.
Sound Quality: NEAR MINT
This wonderful sounding disc has just a few careful plays on quality equipment. The sound is refined and detailed, free from the over-compressed sound of the previous cuttings. More importantly, it is free from any groove/play wear and my single careful play-check at volume detected just a hint of light/normal vinyl background in 'Michelle', but no clicks, pops or any other audible distractions on this tough to upgrade copy.
Cover: EXCELLENT +
A fine strong & clean example which retains an immaculate unscratched high-gloss front panel laminate free from any 'thumbnail' wrinkles or even any spine bends. There is a hint of shelfwear rubbing to the lower corners but no bumps or bruising to any. Both opening edges are in great shape too with just one or two tiny 'pushes' to the rear. The rear panel is overall bright and unworn with the only blemish being two small brown 'spots' - one on George's standing image and a smaller one on Ringo below. All flipbacks are clean & fully intact and both seams and the spine are all smooth, unstressed and unworn.
Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT +
Clean & flat with just a few gentle storage bends but no writing, tears or seam splits.
This item is located in and will be shipped from AUSTRIA. Priority signed for airmail postage to UK addresses will be 11.75 GBP**
