CONDITION
Disc
Labels: EXCELLENT
A clean & bright pair with minimal spindle marks/hole wear.
Visual: EXCELLENT
Extremely clean & bright surface which when inspected in strong daylight reveal no significant or major marks whatsoever. Close examination directly beneath halogen light reveals only a sparkling rainbow gloss shines & a few harmless wispy hairlines from the few careful plays this copy has recieved. there are no scratches or any other significant blemishes on this well looked-after disc whatsoever.
Play: EXCELLENT
This great sounding copy has clearly received only some extremely careful play on high-end equipment as the sound is perfectly clean & clear throughout with no groove/play wear on any track. Even most easily worn areas such as the delicate introduction to 'Lucy In The Sky.' 'She's Leaving Home' and even the opening cock-crow from 'Good Morning, Good Morning' are free from any background noise or wear/break-up. There are certainly no clicks, pops, ticks or any other distraction anywhere. In fact, apart from a touch of normal/light background on the opening crowd ambience, there is little else to fault audible on this superb sounding copy.
Cover
EXCELLENT
A super example of this amazing cover which displays a perfect unscratched and undamaged front panel laminate with no rubbing, ringwear or even any 'thumbnail' creases. All corners are unworn and unbumped and all opening edges are clean, sharp and are without any tears or feathering. The inside of the gatefold is MINT/as new with no marks or blemishes anywhere. the rear panel is as impressive as the front with again, no 'thumbnails' or creasing. The cover's only singificant sign of wear is some flaking of th laminate on the spine. However, all the text remains complete and readable and all seams are smooth, unstressed and unsplit.
Inner-sleeve
EXCELLENT
Clean & crisp with a few unavoidable light storagewear creases and two pin-holes in one corner, but no writing, splits or tears.
Cut-Out sheet
MINT
