CONDITION
Disc
Labels: NEAR MINT
All are clean & bright with a small handful of light spindle trails on the disc 1 labels and less on disc 2.
Both Visual: EXCELLENT +
All playing surfaces are extremely clean and retains their deep-gloss finish.
Inspection beneath halogen light reveals some harmless marks from the unforgiving black inners but nothing major.
Audio: Disc 1: EXCELLENT + Disc 2: NEAR MINT
Played with care a few times on quality equipment only, the sound quality overall is hard to fault.
Our play-check detected 3/4 minor ticks each on 'Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da', 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' & 'Julia', but disc 2 plays flawlessly.
Cover: EXCELLENT
A clean & strong example with high-gloss panels with a hint of storagewear & a single 'thumbnail' wrinkle on the front.
The laminate is fully intact over the raised 'THE BEATLES' wording and the number is bold and unworn.
There is a bump to the rear lower right corner but all of the top-opening edges are clean & undamaged.
Inside, both panels are immaculate.
There is a small area of split laminate on the spine towards the upper end but both sets of wording are readable.
Photos: NEAR MINT
All are clean with just a small bend on the corner of Ringo's photo.
The protector sheet is uncreased but has age-spots on both sides.
Poster: EXCELLENT +
Unhung with light handling wear only.
Inner-sleeves: EXCELLENT
Both are clean with some minor damage to the opening edges but no splits to any seam.
