CONDITION
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT +
Both are clean & bright with nothing more than a small collection of very faint spindle trails around each centre hole.
Visual: EXCELLENT +
Outstanding deep-gloss playing surfaces bearing nothing more than some harmless wispy paper-type hairlines and a sparkling rainbow shine directly beneath halogen light.
Visual: NEAR MINT
Difficult to remember hearing of a better sounding example of this pressing. The superior original mono mix shines through on every level with no trace of any crackle or groovewear anywhere. Even the delicate 'She's Leaving Home' plays superbly with no break-up or peak wear distortion which are an unhappy feature of most copies. Aside from a touch of low-level vinyl background on the run-ins and final piano fade-out, there is little to fault on this impressive copy which will not disappoint.
Cover: EXCELLENT
A respectable early example which is clean, strong and fully intact. The front panel is bright & glossy with a hint of rubbing and a three small spine wrinkles but no 'thumbnails' or other creasing. There is minor shelfwear to the left corner tips but no damage or wear to any of the opening edges. Both panels inside of the gatefold are 'as new'. The rear panel has similar light storage rubbing along with two 'thumbnail' wrinkles but no other signs of wear. The wide spine is clean & fully laminated & worded and all seams are smooth, unstressed & unsplit.
Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT
Some light storage wrinkles and a faint stain on one side only, but no writing, tears or seam splits.
Cut-out Sheet: MINT
