AN EXCELLENT COPY IN PARTICULAR THE SLEEVE OF THIS THE BEATLES FOURTH ALBUM AND FIRST GATEFOLD. UK FIRST PRESSING WITH "THE PARLOPHONE CO LTD" RIM TEXT AND "RECORDING FIRST PUBLISHED 1964" & "SOLD IN THE UK" LABEL TEXT.
THE SLEEVE IS QUITE STUNNING ONE OF THE BEST I'VE SEEN FOR A LONG TIME. AS EVERYONE KNOWS THE SEAM OF THE GATEFOLD INVAIRIABLY GETS CRUSHED FLAT THROUGH USE IN A MATTER OF WEEKS AND TAKES ON THE APPEARANCE OF THE CRIMPED ENDS AND THE TEXT ALSO BECOMES UNREADABLE THIS COPY IS VIRTUALLY AS IT LEFT THE PRESSING PLANT THE SEAM IS PERFECT ALL TEXT IS LEGIBLE NO LAMINATE LIFT AND COMPLETE WITH THE FACTORY CRIMPED ENDS ,THE REST OF THE SLEEVE IS BRIGHT AND CLEAN AND RINGWEAR FREE WITH JUST THREE SMALL CREASES TO THE SLEEVE REAR ( SO HARD TO SEE IN PICS) THE INTERIOR GATEFOLD IS ALSO BRIGHT AND CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY FADING WRITING OR STAINING
THE EMITEX INNER SLEEVE IS ALSO IN FIRST CLASS CONDITION BRIGHT AND CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY WRITING OR STAINING
THE HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL DISC RETAINS A DEEP GLOSSY SHEEN TO THE SURFACES WITH MINIMAL HANDLING AND SURFACE MARKS CERTAINLY NOTHING THAT INTERFERES WITH PLAY AS AUDIO IS EXCELLENT. THE LABELS ARE IN SIMILAR CONDITION FREE FROM ANY DISTRESS AND ANY SPINDLE MARKS ARE CONFINED TO THE RECORD CENTRE.
AN EXCELLENT OVERALL COPY ENHANCED BY THE TRULY EXCEPTIONAL SLEEVE
COULD OVERSEAS BIDDERS PLEASE WAIT FOR FINAL INVOICE AS COST'S DIFFER IN EACH COUNTRY THANK YOU
