Early Stampers
Outer Cover: This is the original Garrod & Lofthouse laminated outer 'slip-case' cover and is not a reproduction. It has the G&L 'patents pending' text at the base of the rear cover. There are no writings or doodles. There is some laminate creasing & edge/corner wear . Rates as VG+.
Apple Poster: This is the original Apple 'ads' mini poster that came with the 'Let it Be' Box Set and is not a reproduction. There are no writings, rips, pin-holes or blu-tak/sellotape marks. There is some horizontal creasing where it has been folded and a few other small creases. Rates as VG+.
Book: This is the original "Get Back" book with the Ethan Russell photographs. The spine is firm and there are no missing pages. The only small blemish is that page 4 has started to come loose at the top for about 3 inches and as a result the book gets down graded from Near Mint to a grading of Excellent.
LP Cover: Garrod & Lofthouse original laminated 1st UK pressing non-gatefold cover with the red Apple logo on the rear. No writings, doodles or seam splits. Some edge/spine wear & light laminate creasing. Near Excellent condition.
LP Labels: Near Mint. No writings, stickers or doodles.
LP Vinyl: Play tested. Thick heavy duty 1st pressing vinyl. Looks Near Excellent with a very nice sheen and only a light non-feelable hairline mark on Side 2 which causes some light clicks for about 15 seconds on 'The Long & Winding Road'.
Plays even better than it looks with playback grading as Excellent+ (except 'Long & Winding Road' which is VG+) with a lovely rich sound and barely any background at all - not even between tracks! Lightly played and very well cared.
LP Inner Sleeve: This is the original plain white paper inner sleeve with 2 external flip-backs on one side. It has the 'patent no. 1,125,55' & 'MADE IN GREAT BRITAIN" text printed at the base of one side. Excellent condition.
Outer Tray: The outer tray is not original but is a replacement and is in Mint condition.
Inner Tray: The inner tray that houses the booklet is not an original but is a replacement and is in Mint condition.
