CONDITION
Disc
Labels: MINT
A perfect pair with not a single spindle mark or trace of wear to or around either centre hole.
Visual: NEAR MINT
Factory-fresh, deep-gloss playing surfaces which are totally unmarked and 'as new' in strong daylight with just a few barely visible, harmless wispy paper hairlines and a sparkling rainbow shine upon close examination directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp. this immaculate looking disc lies 100% flat on the turntable and would be very tough to upgrade.
Sound Quality: NEAR MINT
This amazing sounding copy shows no visual signs of ever having been played and the sound quality is flawless & wonderful throughout. My single careful play-check at volume picked up no trace of any groove/playwear on any track or in either channel and it is only a few faint ticks on the delicate introduction to 'You Never Give Me Your Money' which prevents a perfect audio grading. All of the other delicate passages, such as the delicate introduction to 'Here Comes the Sun' play without distraction making this copy one of the best I've heard in a long time and one which will not disappoint or require upgrading.
Cover: NEAR MINT
A superb clean & strong example which retains an immaculate, unscratched & unworn high-gloss laminate on both front & rear panels.
Both are free from any 'thumbnails' or any other creasing or wear.
All corners are sharp and unworn as are both razor-sharp opening edges.
Both seams are unstressed & unsplit.
The only factor which prevents are NM grade is a small 2.5cm section of worn laminate midway down the spine. However, this does not affect the wording which is clean & unworn.
Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT +
Clean & flat with no writing, tears or seam splits.
