RECORDS AUDIO GRADING - MINTThis record plays perfectly, with an incredible clear and strong sound.
It had an easy life and was played very little for sure.
The vinyls are profound black with an amazing light shine.
The 2 records sound great - I dare to say - like new.
No static or surface noise can be heard throughout.
Superb sound only with some very light occasional click or a pop here and there just like the new records.
Difficult to hear any noise even between the tracks.
RECORD 1 - VISUAL GRADING Thick pressing with glossy vinyl.
Deep clear grooves, only a very few light marks, no scratches.
Only a few faint hairlines typical of a carefully handling.
Pristine vinyl, mint condition.
No signs of warping or other deformations.
The labels As I said before, the labels of disc 1 are misprinted and no one knows how many of these records were made please see the link I put above for the The Beatles Collection reference web site .
The export versions never showed the sentence SOLD IN U.K.
SUBJECT TO RESALE PRICE CONDITIONS, SEE PRICE LISTS once they were produced only a few copies of the first presses to send to foreign countries this is also the reason for the rarity of these Parlophone for export versions .
Regarding their visual condition, both sides of disc one show stunning well conserved labels, without any kind of marks.
This misprinted labels obviously give this record an extremely high value.
RECORD 2 - VISUAL GRADING Just like the first record.
A few faint handling marks, no scratches - mint condition.
