Record
Labels: 1. MINT 2. NEAR MINT
There are NO spindle marks to either side. There is a tiny spot to the right of the matrix number on side 2 but the silver centre marker is still visible around part of the hole.
Visual: NEAR MINT
Both sides are in pristine, as new, unmarked condition, displaying just a few barely visible wispy paper hairlines directly under halogen light. Apart from a tiny 1mm mark on track 1 on side 2, there are absolutely no scuffs, marks or scratches to either side on this possibly unplayed copy.
Play: NEAR MINT
This copy sounds 'as new' with no traces of groovewear or background noise on any tracks. Even the easily damaged 'She's Leaving Home' plays perfectly without any of the usual break-up or wear. In fact, apart from 3 light ticks on 'Within Without You', the entire disc is in perfect audio condition.
Cover
EXCELLENT
A clean, glossy & vibrant example with a top class, high-gloss front panel which bears just a few small 'thumbnail' creases, but no other signs of wear. The corners and opening edges have some minor handling wear but no major faults. The rear panel is as glossy as the front and the inside is clean & bright with just a small piece of missing paper to one of the flipback edges. The spine is fully worded & laminated and like all the seams, unsplit and undamaged.
Cut-out sheet: MINT
- 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.
