THIS ORIGINAL 1963 U.K STEREO PRESSING IS GRADED AS V.G.- THERE ARE VERY FEW OF THESE COPIES LEFT IN EXISTANCE & ARE CONSIDERED THE "HOLY GRAIL" BY BEATLE RECORD COLLECTORS. BOTH PLAYING SIDES HAVE RETAINED THEIR HIGH GLOSS APPEARANCE BUT DO CARRY SOME HANDLING SURFACE MARKS & SCRATCHES.
THE AUDIO SOUND QUALITY IS VERY GOOD. THE DISC PLAY'S THROUGHOUT WITH A STRONG STEREO SOUND AND IS VOID OF ANY SERIOUS DEFECTS EXCEPT FOT THE TRACK " DO YOU WANT TO KNOW A SECRET" WHERE THERE ARE THREE SMALL SKIPS. THERE IS ALSO SOME OCCASIONAL BACKGROUND NOISE BUT THIS DOES NOT OVERPOWER THE STRONG AUDIO.
THE LABELS. BOTH LABELS ARE FREE OF ANY UNWANTED REMOVED STICKER, OR PEN MARKINGS. THE GOLD TEXT WORDING REMAINS LEGIBLE WITH PERHAPS A LITTLE MORE FADE ON SIDE 1 THAN SIDE 2. THE CORRECT ZT. CODE (PRE VALUE ADDED TAX) IS EMBOSSED IN THE CENTRE LABEL ON THAT SIDE, ALTHOUGH IT IS HARD TO SEE. GRADED V.G.
THE COVER. IT IS THE ORIGINAL "ERNEST J DAY" COVER WITH THE PHOTO OF THE GROUP TAKEN BY "ANGUS Mc BEAN AT THE NOW DEMOLISHED FORMER HEADQUARTERS OF E.M.I. KNOWN AS MANCHESTER SQUARE IN LONDON. THE COVER IS GRADED V.G. THE FRONT COVER HAS IT'S ORIGINAL LAMINATED HIGH GLOSS FINISH WITH SOME SUPERFICIAL CREASES TOWARDS THE OPENING MOUTH EDGE. THE PHOTO SHOOT CREDIT IS THERE, BUT IT IS ALMOST COMPLETLY HIDDEN BY THE FOLD WHICH UNUSUALLY HAS BEEN OVERLAPPED IN PRODUCTION. THE SPINE IS TOTALLY INTACT WITH EASY TO READ WORDING. THE REAR WHITE PANEL DISPLAY'S THE OBVIOUS AGE DARKENNING AND THE BOTTOM FLIPBACK HAS BEEN REPAIRED. THERE IS ALSO A SMALL SPLIT ALONG THE TOP & BOTTOM OPENING MOUTH EDGE & A PEN INSCRIPTION. THIS L.P. COMES WITH IT'S CLEAN THICK PAPER UNDAMAGED "EMITEX" POLYLTHENE INNER SLEEVE.
