CONDITION
Disc: EXCELLENT +
Perfectly clean, deep-gloss playing surfaces which are unworn and appear unmarked in strong daylight. Closer examination beneath halogen light reveals little more than some harmless wispy paper hairlines from the inner-sleeve, together with a sparkling rainbow shine.
Sparingly & carefully played on quality equipment, all tracks play with a warmth & depth missing from any other pressing. There is no trace of any groove/playwear distortion on any track and part from a little low-level vinyl background on 'She's Leaving Home' and the final piano fade-out, there is little to fault on this excellent sounding disc.
Cover: EXCELLENT +
A glossy, strong & vibrant example from a non-smoking environment bearing minor shelfwear only.
The richly coloured front panel retains an unworn high-gloss laminated free from any 'thumbnail' wrinkles.
There are tiny bruises to the right corners of the front leaf, but no heavy bumps or other such damage.
Both inside panels are immaculate with no missing paper or wear to either of the flipovers.
The rear panel is as clean & glossy like the front is also 'thumbnail' and crease free.
All opening edges are clean & sharp with just a single tiny 'push' midway down the rear edge, as seen above.
All seams are unstressed & unsplit.
The spine is clean & fully worded.
Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT
Clean & flat with some toning to the white areas but no writing, tears or seam splits.
Cut-out sheet: MINT
