CONDITION
Discs
Labels: 1: EXCELLENT. 2, 3 & 4: NEAR MINT
Visual: EXCELLENT +
All surfaces are pristine & unmarked in daylight, bearing just a few faint inner-sleeve removal marks & wispy paper hairlines directly under halogen light. There are no significant marks or any scratches to any surface.
Audio: NEAR MINT
Both discs have received just some light careful play and all tracks play cleanly & clearly without any traces of any groovewear distortion or background crackle anywhere. Both runs-ins, all bands and the quiet, delicate passages play without any clicks, pops or is there any further significant or major audible wear elsewhere. Even the easily damaged introduction to 'Martha My Dear' & the final chord on the 'Long, Long, Long' are clear & unworn.
Cover: EXCELLENT
Clean & strong and still retaining a good 'whiteness' with no significant toning anywhere. The front retains an undamaged, unscratched laminate with no creasing or 'thumbnails' anywhere. Apart from a faint disc impression, there is little to fault on any panel. The is some minor bruising to the right corners and slight wear to the front top-opening edge pocket but no tears or missing paper. The inside is pristine and has clearly not been opened in many years. The spine's laminate has split but all the text is clear, present & readable.
Inners: VERY GOOD
Poster: GOOD Some marks on the lyric side but no tears or other major faults.
Photos: VERY GOOD
