The Disc
Fantastic glossy playing surfaces with no scratches of marks visible in good daylight and no marks or hairlines visible when viewed under focused halogen spotlight. The disc sits completely flat on the turntable without warping or dishing, MINT-!
The Audio
The playback is faultless! Quiet lead-ins to both sides, and between tracks. No pops, clicks and clearly no skips at this top grade. Quiet tracks like 'She's Leaving Home' often the litmus test for Sgt Peppers LHCB plays beautifully without issue. MINT-!
The Sleeve
The sleeve is glossy and clean, without ring wear, storage or shelf wear. The edges are sharp and unworn as is the spine which is sharp and without wear from corner to corner. Clearly there are no stains, rips, pen, or marks with this top grade. MINT-!
The Insert
Clean without wear, clearly unused and without issue. MINT-
The Inner
Remarkably the original inner has no splitting. Some discolouration at the white side. No pen, stains, rips, or marks. EXCELLENT!
