**********

Both vinyls are clean with light marks / hairlines & scuffing visible under bright light, and with a few mild scratches. Visually sides 1-3 are VG+ while side 4 is VG. All four sides play with strong audio, no jumps, no persistent crackle no repetitive clicks apart from: side 1 has 8 or 9 clicks at the end of “Glass Onion” (mostly in the gap, on close inspection looks like a small burn mark to surface). Side 4 some hardly noticeable ticks during “Revolution no 9” and towards the end of “Good Night”. None of these are too intrusive and they don’t spoil the listening experience. Otherwise there’s a little light surface noise in places but nothing significant.

The top loading gatefold sleeve with flip backs on the sides is a strong VG+ with fully legible spine, no splits, no tears, no real issues just minor wear to openings, some yellowing and a few small marks / indentations.

The four original photos are excellent, no tears or significant creasing, just a light surface scuff to Lennon in the dark area top right, only visible when angled to the light.

The poster is all intact with no rips or pinholes, light wear to folds and tiny holes at the two points where the vertical fold meets the two horizontal folds

The original black inners are (unusually) both intact with no splits, just some very light fraying to openings.

Overall a very nice copy, solid sleeve, all the extras are present and correct and nice audio with very few faults.

The discs have been machine cleaned on my Pro-ject machine (using Pro-ject’s own alcohol free cleaning fluid) and come in brand new anti static lined inners.

Postage will be tracked and fully insured.

-----------------

Gradings refer to the UK Record Collector Magazine standard (shown below). I would only use "mint" for genuinely unplayed records. Visual grading is done under a spotlight. Play testing is done on my Pro-ject or Rega turntable.

If buyer is not satisfied for any reason please contact me, I will refund on safe return of item.

Record will be packaged in a mailer with stiffening. If requested I will pack with the record removed from the outer sleeve (normally with double lps I pack with the discs inside to prevent crushing of the spine).

Mint (M) - The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet. booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records marked as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

Excellent (EX) - The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

Very Good (VG) - The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects is acceptable

Good (G) - The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc
