CONDITION
Disc
Labels: NEAR MINT
A sparkling set with unworn centre holes which bear no more than 2 or 3 faint spindle trails around each centre hole.
Visual: NEAR MINT
Pristine & 'as new' playing surfaces which retain 100% of their just-pressed deep-gloss shines and are UNMARKED upon careful inspection in strong daylight. Even close examination directly beneath my powerful and unforgiving halogen desk lamp reveals just a few barely visible wispy paper-type hairlines but I really struggle to find them. This super-heavy, high-quality vinyl disc lies 100% flat on the turntable with no signs of any dishing or warping. You will not need an upgrade or be disappointed with this fabulous copy.
Play: NEAR MINT
This magnificent sounding copy has clearly been played just once or twice and the sound matches that of a new record. My careful playcheck found the sound to be clean, clear & powerful with the only minor blemish being a hint of groove wear on 'Twist & Shout' only. However, there wre no clicks, pops or any other traces of audible wear or distraction on or between the music. I guarantee that this will not disappoint.
Cover
EXCELLENT +
A very difficult cover to find in this condition, this very fine example has been well looked-after and stored in smoke-free conditions. The front panel laminate is clean & glossy with no 'thumbnails' or any other significant signs of wear. There is slight shelfwear bruising to the lower corners but none whatsoever to either front or rear opening edges. The rear panel is remarkably clean & white with a faint trace of handling but certainly no significant blemishes or any writing or missing paper. There is a little damage to the lower flipback corners but all others are clean & intact. Both seams are smooth with no flaking laminate, stresses or splits and the spine is fully worded and unbent.
Inner-sleeve
EXCELLENT +
Clean & white with just a little unavoidable storage wrinkling but bo writing, tears or seam splits.
