Condition
Please note the pictures appear to have dark lines on them - this is only shadows
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT
Both are clean & undamaged with a moderate collection of spindle trails around each unworn centre hole.
Visual: EXCELLENT
This well-looked-after copy has been handled with respect and care by its owner and consequently both playing surfaces are unworn and free from any major surface marks. Closer examination in strong light reveals only a few harmless wispy hairlines consistent mostly with inner-sleeve removal and a sparkling rainbow shine.
Sound Quality: EXCELLENT
Played with care on quality equipment, this extremely early copy with the superior and original mono mix shines through with just some very minor playwear on the delicate 'She's Leaving Home' only. The entire album is free from any clicks, pops or other such distraction. Hard to find an earlier copy in such good shape.
Cover: EXCELLENT
Very minor rubbing to edges and corners
Inner Sleeve: EXCELLENT
Very minor yellowing of white area: near perfect
Insert: EXCELLENT
Looks Mint
Overall this is an EXCELLENT copy of this ULTRA RARE collectible classic
