CONDITION
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT
A clean & undamaged pair showing some minor hole wear and light spindle marks around each.
Visual: VERY GOOD +
Clean, bright & unworn playing surfaces which display a few light surface marks marks consistent with sleeve removal and careful play, but nothing I would call a scratch. Close examination directly beneath my unforgiving powerful halogen desk lamp just highlights these minor blemished but add no further significant or major wear. Both sides of this heavy dic lie 100% flat on the turntable when playing.
Play: VERY GOOD +
This respectable sounding copy has received a number of careful play but is without any significant deterioration to the sound quality throughout. Apart from slight groovewear to the introduction of 'Drive My Car' and a hint of background on 'Michelle', there is little esle to fault. There are certainly no clicks, pops or any other audible distraction throughout.
Cover
VERY GOOD +
A strong and heavy example of this scarce cover variant which displays some general handling & storagewear but no major faults throughout. The front panel is richly coloured showing just some 'thumbnail' wrinkles on Ringo's face but no further significant wear. There is slight rubbing to each corner's extremities but both opening edges are clean & sharp. The rear panel is overall white and clean with just a few tiny aged fingermarks but no writing or missing paper. All flipbacks are present and both seams and the fully worded spine are smooth, unstressed & unworn.
Inner-sleeve
EXCELLENT
Clean & crisp with slight age-toning & a faint disc impression, but no major faults.
