CONDITION
Discs
Labels: GOOD/EXCELLENT +
As you can see, labels 1 & 3 have suffered water damage, but are still intact and readable.
Labels 2 & 4 are clean & undamaged with just 2/3 light spindle trails around each centre hole.
Visual: EXCELLENT +
All playing surfaces are perfectly clean and unmarked in strong daylight, meaning they are free form any scratches or other noticeable surface marks. Close inspection beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp reveals on some harmless inner-sleeve storage marks form the unforgiving back inners in which they once were stored.
Sound Quality: EXCELLENT +
Both discs have been little played and are free from any crackle or groove/playwear distortion. My playcheck detected a few soft 'pops' on the fade of 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' together with the usual light/low-level vinyl background between tracks and quieter passages, but no further audible faults or distractions on either disc.
Cover: VERY GOOD
A fully intact example with the correct '059..' prefix which should accompany these export editions. The cover has minor age-toning throughout and moderate/general storagewear and is free from any major faults. The number on the front panel is missing the final two digits but these can be deciphered from the impression which remains.
The inside of the gatefold is unblemished and unworn and the rear 'stereo' indicator is intact
Both sets of spine lettering are covered and readable and all seams are smooth & unsplit
