The vinyl is in VG condition visually. Lots of light non feelable marks and a couple of small feelable scratches on side 1. Fully play tested, It plays really well with a little light crackle in the spaces between tracks/run ins. A soft repetitive click on Norwegian Wood and again some light clicking on “The Word” (caused by the scratches). Doesn’t greatly impact on the enjoyment of those songs and doesn’t overpower the music. The rest of the album plays with nice clear audio. “Michelle” sounds good on this pressing and doesn’t have the distortion of earlier copies. VG+ overall play grade and a good listen. Not perfect but still really enjoyable and mostly clear.
The sleeve is VG+ with some light storage wear/staining on the rear. No rips, tears or writing.
Inner is split on edges but intact. Will include a new poly lined inner.
