THE VINYL - VISUALLY
ALL LABELS ARE IN EXCELLENT / NEAR MINT CONDITION WITH MINIMAL SPINDLE WEAR AND FEW TRACES OF BEING PLAYED
THE VINYLS THEMSELVES ARE IN EXCELLENT ++ CONDITION ALSO. ALL SIDES ARE VERY CLEAN AND RETAIN THEIR DEEP GLOSS FINISH. A VERY OCCASIONAL FINGERNAIL SCUFF AND SOME SLEEVE REMOVAL HAIRLINES ARE VISIBLE UNDER HALOGEN LIGHT BUT THERE ARE NO SIGNIFICANT SCRATCHES OF ANY TYPE OR ANY MAJOR FAULTS.
AUDIO
VINYL 1 - EXCELLENT
THS VINYL HAS IN NO WAY BEEN OVERPLAYED. ON PLAY GRADING THERE IS ONE CLICK/POP APPARENT ON THE FINAL TRACK OF SIDE 2 'JULIA' AND ON 'BLACKBIRD EARLIER ON THE SAME SIDE.
VINYL 2 - EXCELLENT
AGAIN IN BEAUTIFUL CONDITION AND WITH A SIMILAR NUMBER OF POPS/CLICKS AS THE FIRST DISC
COVER - EXCELLENT
CLEAN AND GLOSSY WITH SOME SLIGHT YELLOWING WHICH IS MORE APPARENT ON THE TOP SECTION OF THE FRONT AND BACK. THERE IS ALSO SOME RING WEAR TO FRONT AND BACK WHICH ON A STANDAR GATEFOLD WOULD HARDLY BE VISIBLE BUT DUE TO THE 'WHITENESS' OF THIS ALBUM IS MORE APPARENT (SEE PICS)
THE CORNERS AND SPINE ARE EXCELLENT WITH SOME MINOR DAMAGE TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT HAND CORNER. MINOR LAMINATE SPLIT TO TOP PORTION BUT THE TEXT IS STILL PERFECTLY LEGIBLE. THE LOWER PART IS IN BEAUTIFUL CONDITION AND THE TEXT CLEAR AND CLEAN.
DIE CUT INNERS- EX/VG
ONE HAS SOME CREASING AND THE OTHER HAS A SMALL TEAR AND A 2" SEAM SPLIT
INSERTS
ALL FOUR PHOTOS ARE GLOSSY AND WITHOUT CREASING, PIN HOLES ETC AND ARE IN NEAR MINT CONDITION
THE POSTER HAS SOME VERY MINOR CREASING CLOSE TO FOLDS BUT IS IN AT LEAST EXCELLENT CONDITION AND PROBABLY CLOSER TO NEAR MINT
---
OVERALL AN EXCELLENT COPY OF THIS CLASSIC LP. IT PAINS ME TO PART WITH IT BUT AS USUAL NO RESERVE AND A 99P START
