CONDITION
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT +
A superb clean & bright set with just a small number of faint faint spindle trails around each centre hole.
Visual: EXCELLENT +
Totally pristine playing surface which are as clean & glossy as the day they left the factory 48 years ago. Close examination in strong daylight reveals just a single 2mm scratch between tracks 1 & 2 on side 1, but apart from that, both surfaces are MINT. Even close examination directly beneath my unforgiving halogen desk lamp could find no other traces of visual wear. Both sides of this superb disc lie 100% flat on the turntable when playing.
Play: EXCELLENT +
This immaculate copy has received just a handful of careful plays on good equipment and as a result, the sound is completely free from any groove/play wear. The only audible distraction on the entire album are 3 or 4 light clicks at the beginning of 'All 'I've Got To Do' due to the aforementioned scratch. Otherwise, it is flawless.
Cover: EXCELLENT
An extremely hard to find cover in this condition, this well looked after example is clean & strong throughout. The iconic front panel is clean & unyellowed and bears just two tiny 'thumbnails' and a some faint storagewear to the high-gloss laminate. There is minor corner bruising but no wear or tears to either opening edge. The rear panel is clean & unblemished and free from any writing or missing paper. All flipbacks are fully intact and both seams & the spine are all unstressed, unsplit and unworn.
Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT
Clean & flat with minor storage wrinkles & the disc's catalogue number written in one corner, but tears or seam splits.
