Description
PLEASE NOTE:
My camera has a few spots on the lens, these are visible on the photos, but it IS the lens, the item is perfect :-)
Visually, the LP has scuffs, in and outs, light surface marks, with at least a dozen more obvious light surface scratches, but none deep.
Play-Test:
Listening was enjoyable for both sides. No repeats, or obvious clicks or pops. I was surprised at how irrelevant the marks were to my listening pleasure, just very light background here and there, plays MUCH better than it looks. There is a split second "swoosh" sound in the dead wax before "Drive My Car", and Michelle has more prominent crackle, but not overpowering, along with a couple of very light clicks to its outro. I didn't hear any obvious groove wear or distortion. A very very good listening, playing copy, with very few minor distractions, in my opinion.
The Y&B labels are clean with plenty of spindle trails and some spindle wear.
Original EMITEX inner is fine, no rips tears or writing.
The G&L flip-back sleeve has no pen marks or rips, just normal ageing, feathering to opening edge, some mild staining to its rear, with a spine split under the title ( see photo ), overall, a good sleeve.
More records listed.
I always combine P&P for records :-)
The LP will be well packed, and posted Royal Mail 1st Class Signed For.
Thanks, Paul.
