Close examination directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp reveals only a small number of very faint wispy hairlines from the inner-sleeve and a sparkling rainbow shine.
Both sides of this immaculate disc lie 100 flat on the turntable and is truly a final upgrade/investment-grade piece Sound Quality: MINT This copy has clearly been barely, if ever played and sounds 100 flawless throughout.
There is no trace of any groove/playwear distortion or crackle on any track, even on the most easily and damaged Twist Shout .
Both run-ins and all bands play silently and there is not a single tick, click or pop anywhere.
The mono remasters are nearly here but they will never replace the incredible sound on this amazing treasure.
