Any fan of The Beatles, or 60s music in general, will want to have this in their collection!!!!

The record labels are in STUNNING condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and only a few light spindle marks!!!! The vinyl is in GREAT condition!!!! Most of these 60s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and has NO scratches, 2 or 3 light hairlines, 3 or 4 light scufflines, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!! THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK!!!! It is great to find that the playing of the record is almost as STUNNING as the visual!!!! It plays with only a VERY few light clicks/pops (barely ANY), NO sticking, NO jumps, though there is some background crackle/surface noise - most noticeable at the beginning of Side 2.  There is NO distortion either and NO nasty greying of the grooves!!!!  The record must grade visually Very Good++ if not better - with the playing grade slightly less than this. Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!! The record also comes in its original inner sleeve!!!! The MEGA RARE 'Stickered' Garrod & Lofthouse FULLY LAMINATED EXPORT Cover is in STUNNING condition!!!! It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, barely ANY corner wear AT ALL, VERY shiny laminate, only a VERY few light creases (cover is AMAZINGLY flat looking), and NO writing!!!! The opening edge is beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!! Even the laminated back is in STUNNING condition with NO writing, NO grubbyness, & NO yellowing!!!!  The cover must grade Excellent+ if not better and is INCREDIBLY hard to find in this condition!!!! AWESOME COVER!!!!  The EXPORT 'Gold Foil' Odeon sticker on the back of the cover is in STUNNING condition (see pictures)!!!!  THIS LP IS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND AS A GENIUNE UK ODEON EXPORT!!!!  SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS SERIOUSLY RARE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
