CONDITION
All Labels: NEAR MINT
An outstanding set which are richly coloured and perfectly clean with just 2/3 of the faintest spindle trials around the unworn centre holes.
Both Discs Visual: EXCELLENT
All playing surfaces are perfectly clean. However sides 1 & 3 bear several light surface marks which are a mixture of fingernail & paper scuffs, but nothing I would call a scratch. Closer inspection directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp only highlights these harmless marks, adding only a healthy rainbow shine to each.
Overall Sound Quality: EXCELLENT +
This well looked-after copy has received minimal play on excellent quality equipment. The sound is clean, clear & warm throughout without any trace of groove/playwear on any track or in either channel. My single careful play-check at volume detected just 3 clicks at the end of 'The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill' and a few softer ones on 'Revolution # 9'. However, apart from those minor blemishes and a touch of low-level vinyl background between tracks, there is little else to fault on this highly enjoyable sounding set.
Cover: NEAR MINT
This striking cover has been carefully stored within a clean, non-smoking environment within its original shrinkwrapping since purchase. Both front & rear panels are immaculate & unblemished with a bold unworn number. The only trace of wear on the entire cover are tiny splits to the lower right corner, as shown below.
The shrink is of course open along the opening edge and has a tear on the rear panel, otherwise it is intact
The spine is unfaded, fully worded and in flawless condition
