Vinyl is visually in VG+/EX condition, with some faint hairlines on both sides (see photos). Sonically, it is in VG condition (note that this is a conservative grade), with background noise evident during songs such as 'Norwegian Wood' and 'In My Life', which intensifies during louder passages.
The sleeve is in VG+/EX condition, with some faint blue ballpoint marks and very mild ring wear present on the rear. Please consult the provided photos.
Graded in line with the criteria set out by the Goldmine Grading Guide. Please let me know if you require any additional photos.
This record has been professionally cleaned with the Clearaudio Double Matrix Record Cleaner and Degritter. With proper care, it should not require another such clean for several years.
