CONDITION
Disc
Labels: NEAR MINT
An immaculate clean & unblemished pair with no visible spindle marks to either centre hole.
Visual: EXCELLENT
Perfectly clean, deep-gloss surfaces which are undulled by the passage of time or storage. The only blemish on the otherwise unmarked surfaces is a light 1.5cm scratch on track 5 on side 2. However, even close inspection directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp fails to find any further marks or wear.
Play: EXCELLENT
This copy has clearly been barely played and the sound throughout is clean & unworn. My careful play-check found no evidence of any groove/play wear throughout any apart from a few light ticks during 'I've Just Seen A Face' (due to the aforementioned scratch) there is nothing else to fault on this beautiful copy.
Cover: EXCELLENT -
An extremely respectable example of this fragile and easily worn cover which retains a bright & clean front panel bearing just a single faint 'thumbnail' wrinkles to Ringo's right. There is slight wear to the corners and opening edges but no major damage anywhere. The rear panel is clean overall with no significant signs of wear or any writing or missing paper. Both seams are smooth, unstressed & unsplit and the spine is clearly and fully worded.
Inner-sleeve: NEAR MINT
