Description
THE BEATLES - 'LES BEATLES'
Matrix numbers: XAR 777 21B/M6 231498 & XAR 778 21B/M6 231499
Vinyl weight: 157g
Housed in its stylish original fully laminated French designed/printed flipback cover.
CONDITION
Disc
Labels: VERY GOOD
As you can see, there is some black marker pen & blue ball-point marks on both labels.
Visual: VERY GOOD
Both playing surfaces are clean and glossy but do bear numerous light hairlines consistent with the fair amount of play this copy has received. However, these marks are light and none are 'feelable' beneath my fingertips and both sides are 100% flat on the turntable when playing.
Sound Quality: EXCELLENT
This really is great sounding pressing with all of the excitement and power of the UK 1st issue. This copy however has been played many times but apart from some light vinyl background between tracks and in some of the quieter passages, there is no groove/playwear distortion or any clicks, pops, skips or other such audible distractions.
Cover: VERY GOOD +
The striking front panel of this respectable example is clean and glossy with some light storage rubbing/disc impression and a few edge wrinkles- a few 'thumbnails'. There is some light shelfwear to the corner tips & an 8mm tear to the front opening edge which has been well repaired. The rear panel is clean with some natural some age-toning but is clean and retains a full high-gloss laminate. Both flipbacks are fully intact and undamaged and both seams are smooth & unstressed. No original inner-sleeve is present with this copy.
The spine is clean & unworn and all of the text is undamaged and readable.
