CONDITION
Labels: NEAR MINT
An immaculate pair with no spindle marks to either centre hole.
Visual: EXCELLENT -
Both surface are bright, clean & glossy with just a few tiny surface marks on side 1 but nothing more than some harmless wispy hairlines directly beneath halogen light. Downgraded from EX due to a slight edgewarp which does not affect sound or play in anyway.
Play: EXCELLENT
This copy has been rarely played and there is no significant deterioration to the sound quality. Aside from a few soft 'pops' on the fade-in to 'Eight Days A Week' there is little else to fault.
Cover
EXCELLENT
A superb clean & high-goss example with no creasing or wear to the front panel & an unmarked & unblemished rear panel.
- Strict & grading under strong daylight & directly beneath a halogen desk lamp to UK 'RECORD COLLECTOR' standards.
- I carefully play every record I sell on a $5,000 Rega P9 turntable at volume and list all visual and audible faults.
- All the photos in this listing have been taken by myself and are of the actual items for sale.
- All records are professionally & securely in custom-made record mailing boxes with the disc removed from the cover.
- Please take a look at my About Me page for more details.
