Condition
Labels: EXCELLENT
A clean, vibrant set with just light spindlewear but no writing, stains or missing paper.
Visual: VERY GOOD +
Both sides are bright, clean & glossy, bearing just some wispy light hairlines under halogen light but no major marks, scratches or wear to either side. The disc does have a slight edgewarp but this does not affect sound or play.
Audio: VERY GOOD +
Both sides play with a surprisingly rich and clear bass and without any major deterioration to the sound quality. Apart from some faint background in the breaks on 'Love Me Do', there is little to fault. 'P.S. I Love You' has some minor playwear but there are no clicks, pops, jumps, repeats or any other major audible faults to either side.
Cover: EXCELLENT
- Strict grading under strong daylight & halogen light based upon UK 'RECORD COLLECTOR' standards.
- I play every record I sell at volume and list all visual and audible faults.
- Unless stated, all records lie 100% flat & play without distortion, jumps or sticks & all sleeves have no writing, splits or tears.
- The listing photos have been taken by myself and are of the actual items for sale.
- All records are packed tightly in strong custom made record boxes with the disc removed from the cover.
