Record
Labels: 1. EXCELLENT 2. EXCELLENT +
Apart from a small area of faded gold print on side 1, both are clean & bright with no touch-up or hole wear.
Visual: EXCELLENT
A real deep-gloss 'as new' shine to both surfaces with no dull or cloudly patches. Viewed in direct daylight the only significant marks are a few light scratches on the 1st track on side 1. Apart from that, there are no other significant marks or wear visible in daylight. Inspection under halogen light shows only a few barely visible wispy paper hairlines but no further marks or wear. 100% flat on the turntable with no dishing or warping.
Play: EXCELLENT
This copy has recieved just some light, careful play and all tracks play without any background noise or groovewear distortion. The only significant fault is a 1-groove skip on 'I Saw Her Standing There'. Otherwise the entire LP plays superbly and without any further audible faults.
Cover
VERY GOOD -
This early example has a clean, bright & glossy front laminate which displays some light creases and shelfwear rubbing to the corners but both opening edges are clean & undamaged. The rear is clean with just some minor storagewear but no writing or missing paper. There is some damage to the lower right flipback corner but all are intact and both seams and the spine are strong & unsplit.
- Strict grading under strong daylight & halogen light to 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.
