CONDITION
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT PLUS
Clean and bright just with a collection of spindle marks around each centre hole.
Visual: EXCELLENT PLUS
Both surfaces are clean and glossy, displaying just a few light handling marks in strong daylight. My inspection reveals some paper hairlines but no other significant marks or wear. Both sides lie flat on the turntable with no signs of dishing or warping.
Play: EXCELLENT PLUS
This exquisite sounding copy has been barely played and the sound is wonderfully warm & clear with a deep, rich bass and clean, focused highs which you won't find on later issues.
This copy has received numerous careful plays but is without any major deterioration to the sound quality throughout. All tracks play without any groovewear distortion and my careful playcheck uncovered only two very light ticks at “I`m Only Sleeping” and some light ticks at the run-out on side1 and one moderate tick at the end of ““For No One” and some light repeating ticks in the band between “I Want To Tell You” and “Got to Get You Into My Live” and four moderate ticks at the beginning of “Got to Get You Into My Live”. There are no further audible faults or wear on this well-looked after copy.
Cover
VERY GOOD PLUS
A strong and firm example with moderate age/storage wears but no major faults. The front panel has yellowed and displays a light disc impression from storage along with two spine bends but no other significant wear. There is light shelfwear bruising to the lower corners but both opening edges are in good shape with no tears or feathering. The rear panel bears some signs of storage but is otherwise clean and free from any writing or missing paper. All flipbacks are clean & fully intact and both the seams & the spine are unstressed & unsplit.
Inner-sleeve
EXCELLENT
Clean & flat with some age-toning but no heavy creasing, writing, tears or seam splits.
Grading to UK 'RECORD COLLECTOR' standards.
I carefully play all the records I sell at volume and list all visual and audible faults.
All the photos have been taken by myself and are of the actual items for sale.
All records are securely in custom-made record mailing boxes with the disc removed from the cover.
