Cover: Excellent. Genuine Garrod & Lofthouse wide-spine 1st Pressing mono top loader without the 'stereo' text on the rear cover. No writings/doodles or seam splits. Nicely embossed 'The Beatles' and nice clear number. No loose laminate and no wear to spine. Minor wear to edges and minor ringwear only. Light surface scratching to rear.
Photos: Three original 1st pressing (thicker card than later pressings) photos of Paul, Ringo and George are all in excellent condition - no pinholes/tape etc. Light creasing in corners only. The John Lennon photo is a copy - I had this done simply so that the buyer has a complete set.
Black Inner Sleeves: Original black inner sleeves are very good+ - some seam splitting but better than most that I have seen.
Labels: Excellent+. Rare early KT tax code on Side 2.
Vinyl: Based on a visual inspection under a strong light... Side 1 = VG to VG+. Side 2 = VG to VG+. Side 3 = Good. Side 4 = Fair - see grading defininitions below.
Record 1 has been well looked after but Record 2 looks like it has suffered from overplay on a cheap record player and has a lot of scratches as a consequence.
Postage & packaging: £4 (UK) £5.50 (EUROPE) & £7.50 (REST OF THE WORLD)
