Side 2: Give Me Some Truth / Oh My Love / How Do You Sleep? / How? / Oh Yoko!
LABELS: MINT-
Clean, unmarked, factory-fresh labels with only one light spindle trace per side
VINYL Visual: EXCELLENT+
Clean vinyl surfaces which have lost none of there original deep glossy sheen.
There are a few superficial light marks visible in normal light and wispy hairlines under bright light but none of these have any audio consequence
VINYL Audio: NEAR MINT
Possibly only once played, my play-check at loud volume revealed no major audio issues of note - no scratches, no loud clicks or pops, no surface noise and no groove-wear or distortion - sounds great - very clean sound performance throughout with practically silent run-ins and track divisions
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT
The fully laminated single sleeve is unmarked with a deep glossy sheen, just a little record impression and some light storage creases to the extremities.
The spine ('pinched' at the top and bottom) is straight and true with all text clear and bold
INNER SLEEVE: EXCELLENT
Clean and unmarked with no seam splits - just some evidence of handling
POSTER: NEAR MINT
Beautifully white with no damage to the folds - never been hung
POSTCARD: NEAR MINT
Clean and unmarked with no creases and no 'foxing' spots (common on this postcard)
ALL RECORDS ARE PACKAGED WITH THE VINYL OUTSIDE OF THE SLEEVE TO PREVENT ANY 'KNIFING' DURING TRANSIT
A PROTECTIVE POLY SLEEVE, NEW INNER SLEEVE WITH ANTI-STATIC LINER, QUALITY BOX (NOT ENVELOPE) MAILER AND AMPLE STIFFENERS ARE ALWAYS USED TO ENSURE THAT YOUR RECORD ARRIVES SAFELY
