HMV ASD 603/604

UK STEREO PRESSING 

FIRST EDITION 

DISC ONE (ASD 602)

MATRIX No: 2YVH 66-3 / 2YVH 67-3

1G / 1A

A SUPERB LOOKING DISC, FULL SHINE INTACT.   UNMARKED APART FROM A COUPLE OF TINY LIGHT HAIRLINES THAT ARE ONLY VISIBLE UNDER VERY CLOSE SCRUTINY.  VERY LIGHT USE, NO WEAR AROUND THE CENTRE HOLE.  BOTH LABELS ARE CLEAN AND FREE FROM TEARS, STAINS OR WRITING.  THE AUDIO IS FABULOUS, WONDERFUL STEREO PLAYBACK.  A SINGLE LIGHT POP WAS NOTED EARLY ON THE FIRST MOVEMENT AT AROUND 1.42, TWO LIGHT POPS NOTED EARLY IN THE SECOND MOVEMENT, OTHERWISE NEAR PERFECT AUDIO.

THE COVER HAS A FEW CREASES, ONE AT EACH OF THE TOP CORNERS (BOTH SMALL).  A LARGER ONE TO BOTTOM LEFT CORNER, SLIGHTLY MORE SIGNIFICANT AS IT CAUSES A SLIGHT BEND.  THERE IS A VERY SMALL, NEAT REPAIR TO A DEFECT ON THE TOP FRONT EDGE.  THE REAR HAS A FEW SMALL MARKS.  EDGES OF THE FLIPBACKS SHOW SOME DIRT WHERE THE LAMINATE COATING HAS RECEDED.  NO SPLITS, THE SPINE AND IT’S TEXT ARE INTACT.

GRADE FOR DISC :  EXCELLENT+

GRADE FOR COVER :  VERY GOOD

THE ORIGINAL LINED EMI INNER IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, MINOR CREASES, NO SPLITS.

ANOTHER SUPERB DISC WITH IT’S FULL SHINE INTACT.  AGAIN NO MARKS, A COUPLE OF TINY WHISPY HAIRLINES ARE VISIBLE UNDER LIGHT.  UNWORN LABELS WITH NO DAMAGE.  AS WITH DISC ONE THE AUDIO IS QUITE EXCEPTIONAL.  NO ISSUES NOTED, NEAR PERFECT.

THE COVER HAS A FEW VERY SMALL WRINKLES, SLIGHT WEAR TO THE EDGES AND CORNERS.  MODERATE CREASE TO TOP LEFT CORNER, THE SPINE AND TEXT ARE FULLY INTACT.  THE REAR PANEL IS CLEAN APART FROM A COUPLE OF TINY MARKS.  AGAIN, SOME GRIME HAS ACCUMULATED ON THE FLIPBACKS WHERE THE LAMINATE COATING HAS RECEDED.  NO SPLITS, STAINS OR WRITING.
