LP: (Graded) Very Good Plus, according to Goldmine record grading definitions. Has a very modest amount of sleeve scuffs and hairlines / abrasions but none that present a tracking issue as comprehensively tested - please see play grade specifics below. Still has excellent plating gloss and labels are still in good shape, with no spindle trails. The LP is surgically clean and turntable ready .
Play Graded - Near Mint Plus / A Compact Disc being 10 on the scale of lack of surface noise, this LP is a 9.3 / 9.5, between tracks and an average of 9.6 during song selections. The quietness of digital and the richness of analog. The only exception is Track 3 of Side 1 - "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds", where there is a modest amount of clicks in the background in about the first 45 seconds to 1 minute, that do not materially intrude on the playback.
Aside from the value of the mostly non-existent surface noise - the mastering of this pressing is outstanding, making for a superb listening experience - very dynamic, very dimensional imaging.
Cover: (Gatefold) Very Good - medium degree of ring / shelf / edgewear but has all solid seams and mostly legible spine printing, with some weakness to the corner edge paper. Please see all provided photo details of front, back, sides, margins and inner gatefold art.
Does not have original innersleeve or poster card insert.
