CONDITION
Disc
Labels: 1. EXCELLENT + 2. VERY GOOD +
Both are clean & bright with just light wear & spindle trails to the side 2 centre-hole.
Visual: EXCELLENT
Both sides of this disc are extremely clean, bright & glossy with just three small, light hairline scratches on side 2 visible in strong daylight but no surface marks or wear on side 1 at all. Close & careful inspection directly under my unforgiving powerful halogen light reveals just a sparkling rainbow shine and some insignificant wispy paper hairlines but certainly no other significant or major signs of wear. Both sides lie 100% flat on the turntable with no signs of dishing or warping.
Play: VERY GOOD +
This copy has received some play but there is no major deterioration to the sound quality. All tracks play extremely well with the superior mono mix shining through on every song. Some light background is present 'She's Leaving Home' and a few other of the quieter passages, but certainly no significant groove or playwear anywhere. My careful play-check picked up a few light ticks on the animal noises of 'Good Morning, Good Morning', but overall this is a very respectable listening copy.
Cover
EXCELLENT
A vibrant & glossy example with with just minor handling & storagewear but no major faults. The front panel is clean & bright with just some light shelfwear but no tears or feathering to an opening edge. The inside is clean & totally undamaged with no marks, writing or even any missing paper to either flipback edge. The rear panel is also clean & bright with just a few tiny 'thumbnails' but no other significant signs of wear. All seams are smooth and undamaged and the spine is clean, fully laminated and fully worded.
Inner-sleeve
EXCELLENT -
Clean & flat with just the inevitable light disc impression and minor, invisible repairs to one seam but no tears or writing.
Cut-out Sheet
