Visual: NEAR MINT
Bought but unliked by its original owner who played it only twice, this immaculate copy has has been carefully & correctly stored since ,in a non-smoking environment and displays totally pristine, unmarked surfaces. Close examination inspection directly under halogen light reveals just some extremely light & wispy paper hairlines but absolutely no scuffs, scratches or surfaces marks whatsoever. Both sides lie 100% flat on the turntable with no signs of dishing or warping. I have seldom come across such an exquisite copy.
Play: NEAR MINT
With only two careful plays directly after purchase, this copy sounds 'as new' throughout. All tracks are unworn and play perfectly with no traces of groovewear or background noise. Even the most easily worn areas such as 'She's Leaving Home' play without any break-up or playwear. This copy represents a rare opporunity to hear the superior mono mix at its very best and is guaranteed not to disappoint.
Cover
EXCELLENT
An superb vibrant example with a perfect, undamaged front panel with no 'thumbnails' or any other creasing. There is minor shelfwear to the lower corners but no bumps to any. All opening edges are sharp and straight and the rear panel is as immaculate as the front. Inside is 'as new' with no wear or missing paper to the flipback edges. The cover's only fault is some laminate flaking on the spine, but the wording is clean & undamaged. All seams are strong and unsplit.
Inner-sleeve
NEAR MINT
'As new' with no wear or damage.
