CONDITION

Labels: MINT -

A beautiful set showing just 2 or 3 light spindle trails around each unworn centre hole.

Visual: 'A' side: EXCELLENT  'B' side. EXCELLENT +

Both playing surfaces are glossy & bright and unworn. However there is circumferal mark in the 'Please, Please Me' run-out but this does not affect sound or play. The only other blemishes beneath halogen light are some harmless wispy paper-tape hairlines. 

Audio: MINT -

Both sides of this great sounding disc play cleanly & clearly with no groove/playwear distortion or background interference. Don't forget that the mix on this 45 is a different mix to that found on the album - it's more powerful, drier and superior overall. 'Ask Me Why' sounds especially wonderful on this disc.

Cover: EXCELLENT

Clean & fully intact with light storage wrinkles only.
