CONDITION
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT
Clean & unblemished with a collection of light spindle trails on each.
Visual: EXCELLENT
Both playing surfaces retain all of their 'as new' factory-shine with just a few harmless wispy paper hairlines consistent with inner-sleeve removal visible directly beneath halogen light on this well looked-after copy.
Sound Quality: EXCELLENT +
A warm ,clean and clear sounding copy which has received only careful play on quality equipment and is free from any trace of groove/playwear, crackle or any clicks, pops or other such distractions. Apart from some minor vinyl background on 'The Long & Winding Road', there is little to fault on this fine sounding disc.
Cover: EXCELLENT
A firm, unscratched and unworn example with unworn high-gloss front & rear panels free form any 'thumbnail' wrinkles, ringwear or spine bends.
There is a touch of shelfwear bruising to the lower corners but no feathering or tears to either opening edge. The rear panel has some flecks of missing paper on the unlaminated upper and lower edges but both seams are smooth and unstressed and the spine is unworn & perfectly worded.
Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT
