The 'KT' tax/price code is visible in the centre of the side 1 label & in both run-outs.

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.
