Condition
Labels: NEAR MINT
A beautiful, unworn set with the silver centre marker still visible around the hole on both sides.
Visual: NEAR MINT
Both sides are in pristine, as new, unmarked condition - displaying just a few barely visible wispy paper hairlines directly under halogen light. There are no scuffs, marks or scratches to either side on this remarkable copy.
Play: NEAR MINT
This fabulous, bass-rich mono copy sounds completely 'as new' throughout. There are no traces of groovewear or background noise on any track. Eeven the easily damaged 'She's Leaving Home' plays perfectly without any of the usual break-up or wear. In fact, apart from a few light ticks on 'When I'm 64', the entire disc is in perfect audio condition.
Cover
EXCELLENT
A clean, glossy & vibrant example with a top class front panel which bears no 'thumbnail' creases at all. The left corners have some slight storage wear but all and opening edges are clean, sharp & undamaged. The rear panel is as clean as the front with just 3 small 'thumbnail' creases but no scratching or missing laminate. The inside is 'as new' and has clearly not been opened in many year (I have not attemped to open it fully). The standard width spine is fully worded & laminated and undamaged.
Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT
Light storagewear but no major faults.
Cut-out sheet: MINT
