CONDITION
Labels:
Disc 1: EXCELLENT Disc 2: EXCELLENT
All are clean undamaged with just some light spindle trails on the disc 1 labels only.
Visual:
Disc 1. VERY GOOD Disc 2: EXCELLENT
Both discs are clean glossy with some light surface marks not scratches on disc 1. Disc 2 is unmarked in strong daylight, showing only a few harmless wispy paper hairlines beneath halogen light.
Audio: MINT -
You ll know, if you ve been looking for one, a decent sounding mono White Album is very hard to find. Although not perfect visually, the sound quality throughout both discs in this set is truly 1st-class. All tracks play cleanly clearly and are free from any crackle, groove/playwear and have no clicks, ticks or other such audible distractions. You won t be disappointed with the audio on this set.
Cover: VERY GOOD
A respectable clean strong example with a low-ish front cover number. Both front rear panel are glossy with light storage rubbing and a tiny spot on the front. There is also an unavoidable light disc impression but the unique stamped number is bold unworn. There is some minor wear to the opening edges and lower corners but no issues inside the gatefold. The spine laminate has split a little but it is clean and both sets of wording are readable. All seams are smooth fully intact.
Poster: VERY GOOD
Light handling wear only, no tears.
Photo protector sheet: EXCELLENT
Light storage wrinkles.
Photos: EXCELLENT
Minor creasing to some corners.
Inner-sleeves: EXCELLENT
Clean flat with some light wrinkles from storage but no tears or seam splits.
