CONDITION
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT +
A superb set with no more than a small handful of barely visible light spindle trails around each centre hole.
Visual: NEAR MINT
Immaculate deep-gloss playing surfaces which are totally unmarked and 'as new' in strong daylight. Even close examination directly beneath my unforgiving halogen desk lamp fails to reveal anything more than a few barely visible wispy paper hairlines and a sparkling rainbow shine. both sides of this pristine disc lie 100% flat on the turntable when playing.
Sound Quality: EXCELLENT +
This copy has received just a handful of careful plays and the sound throughout is strong and powerful without any significant or major faults. In fact, the only trace of wear I heard during my single careful play-check at volume was a hint of playwear on 'Twist & Shout', but apart from that it is flawless.
Cover: EXCELLENT +
A highly respectable example of this fragile cover which bears light storagewear, but no significant or major faults throughout.
The front panel is clean & unfaded and retains its high-gloss finish with just three small 'thumbnail' wrinkles being the only significant signs of wear. There is light wear to the tips of the left corners but both opening edges appear untouched.
The easily blemished rear panel is pristine white and free from any writing or missing paper. All of the delicate flipbacks are fully intact and undamaged and both upper & lower seams are smooth & unstressed with no flaking or missing laminate.
The spine is clean, fully worded & unworn.
Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT +
Clean & flat with some gentle storage wrinkles but no major faults.
