CONDITION

Disc

Labels: VERY GOOD +

A bright & clean pair with numerous spindle trails around each centre hole, but no major faults overall.

Visual: VERY GOOD

Both playing surfaces are clean and glossy with a few light fingernail scuff lines visible in strong daylight, but nothing I would call a scratch. Closer examination directly beneath my unforgiving halogen light reveals some harmless wispy hairlines but again, nothing serious or anything which affects play. Both sides of this high-quality pressing lie 100% flat both sides when playing.

Play: VERY GOOD

Despite having received a fair amount of play this copy plays without any significant deterioration to the sound quality or any major faults. The only noticeable wear detected during my single play-check at volume was some playwear/light background on 'Til There Was You'. However, apart from that and an occasional light tick between some tracks, there is little else to fault sound-wise.

Cover

VERY GOOD

A respectable example of this rare cover which displays general handling and storage wear commesurate with its age, but no major faults. The iconic front panel is clean and unyellowed with numerous small handling wrinkles. The rear panel has some discolouration from handling towards its opening edge but there is no writing or missing paper. Both seams are smooth and fully intact and the spine is unworn with all the text present and readable.

Inner-sleeve

VERY GOOD +

Clean & correct with some toning around the edges but no writing, seam splits or tears.
