I have written a full appraisal of the condition above but to be totally frank,
considering this LP set has been out and about for nearly 50 years it's looking great.
However, full disclosure:
Side one - Dear Prudence has an audible "phut" for 7 passes
caused by a surface ding during the second verse-mostly in time with the music so not too serious.
Side two - The end of Julia has 3 short static type noises
Side four - Audible crackle to some of Revolution 9 and the quieter bits of Goodnight.
A small click between those two tracks and a short noise after Ringo's singing in the latter.
I have given the vinyls a thorough listen on a reasonably high end system and I'm happy that aside from those notable instances
the audio is top notch crackle and distortion-free stereo heaven.
*Further disclosure: The portraits photos are not original but modern exact reproductions
The poster is not in great shape but has no pin holes or tape marks. The folds have split in two points
and the surface, whilst clean is somewhat fingered. I will include a modern reproduction.
I post worldwide and take great care to package the records out of their sleeves and in stiff card.
