CONDITION

Labels: EXCELLENT +

Both are clean & bright with a small number of spindle trails around each unworn centre hole.

Visual: EXCELLENT +

Extremely clean playing surfaces which retain all of their deep-gloss shine. Aside from a couple of light surface scuffs on side 2, there is very little to fault on this high-quality, well looked after disc.

Audio: EXCELLENT +

It's always a pleasure to hear this great stereo pressing and this copy plays loud and clear. It has received minimal, careful play and aside from a hint of wear on 'Can't Buy Me Love', it is a treat from start to finish.

Cover: EXCELLENT

This period correct sleeve from heavier card than the later small stereo covers is clean & strong throughout. The front panel bears a handful of 'thumbnail' wrinkles towards its opening edge but is clean with a very glossy, unworn finish. The corners are in good shape with just a touch of storagewear to the rear opening edge. the rear panel is clean & unblemished, as are all of the flipbacks. Both seams are smooth & unstressed and the spine is perfect.

Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT

Some light storage wirnkling.
