CONDITION
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT +
A fine set showing just a small collection of light, well-aimed spindle trails to the side 1 centre hole and just 2/3 on side 2.
Visual: EXCELLENT +
Pristine deep-gloss playing surfaces which apart from a few harmless faint inner-sleeve removal marks are totally unmarked in strong daylight. Even close inspection directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp reveals only a few barely visible wispy paper hairlines, but I really struggled to see them.
Sound Quality: MINT
This amazing sounding copy has received just a few careful plays on good equipment and the sound is flawless throughout. Even the exposed introduction to 'If I Fell' and easily worn inner tracks play perfectly in both channels. Both run-ins and all bands play without interference there is not a single click, tick or any other such distraction anywhere. No need to upgrade this copy for sound quality.
Cover: EXCELLENT +
A 1st-class example which has been stored in a non-smoking environment and is as clean & strong as it was 40-years ago. The high-gloss front panel is unscratched and undamaged with just a single 'thumbnail' towards the front opening edge, but no other significant traces of wear. All corners are sharp & square and free from any bumps or bruising with just a few tiny 'pushes' to the front opening edge. The unlaminated rear panel is clean & white with the only blemish being a tiny spot just above the middle of the lower flipback.
All of the flipbacks themselves are fully intact and both seams and the spine are smooth, unstressed and unworn.
Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT +
Clean & flat with no writing, tears or seam splits.
