THE BLACK AND YELLOW LABELS WHICH FEATURE THE SMALL 33/3 ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION. CLOSE INSPECTION UNDER A STRONG LIGHT REVEALS JUST LIGHT SPINDLE MARKS TO EITHER SIDE. THE LABELS ARE BRIGHT AND VIVID WITH NEAR PERFECT LETTERING (THERE IS A HINT OF VERY VERY LIGHT "RUBBING" TOWARDS SPINDLE HOLE ON SIDE TWO BUT NOTHING OF ANY REAL CONCERN). BOTH LABELS ARE CRISP AND EXCEPTIONALLY CLEAN AND FREE FROM ANY FADING.
THE HEAVY WEIGHT VINYL IS ALSO SUPERB... THIS HAS BEEN PLAYED AND THEREFORE IT DOES DISPLAY SOME LIGHT WISPY MARKS AND THE ODD NEEDLE MARK, HOWEVER NONE ARE SERIOUS OR FEELABLE AND NONE AFFECT THE AUDIO. THE GLOSSY VINYL IS PERFECTLY FLAT WITH NO WARPING AND THERE IS NO NEEDLE LIFT WHEN PLAYED. THE BRIGHT PLAYING SURFACE HAS SUFFERED NO DULLING OR OTHER IMPERFECTIONS.
AUDIO IS STUNNING.... ONE CAREFUL PLAY BY MYSELF REVEALED A CLEAR AND CRISP PERFORMANCE. THERE IS SOME MILD CRACKLE TO BOTH RUN IN/OFF GROOVES AND TO THE ODD TRACK GROOVE BUT NOTHING THAT INTERFERES WITH THE OVERALL LISTENING EXPERIENCE. THE VINYL PLAYS THROUGH WITHOUT ANY CLICKS, POPS OR JUMPS. THE STEREO AUDIO IS STRONG AND VIBRANT AND WAS A REAL PLEASURE TO LISTEN TO.
THE CORRECT EMITEX INNER IS PRESENT AND IS SUPERB. IT DOES SHOW THE INEVITABLE LIGHT CREASES CAUSED BY THE VINYL SITTING IN THE INNER OVER THE YEARS BUT THIS IS NOTHING MAJOR. THERE IS ONE TINY HANDLING MARK TO ONE SIDE. THE INNER IS CRISP, INTACT AND STILL ITS BRIGHT WHITE COLOUR.
THE OUTER AND ORIGINAL EARLY E.J DAY "GOLD" SLEEVE IS SIMPLY A SUPERB EXAMPLE. FEATURING THE CORRECT LARGE "STEREO" LOGO AND OFFERING A VIBRANT AND EXTREMLEY GLOSSY FRONT LAMINATED PANEL WHICH DISPLAYS JUST LIGHT EDGE WRINKLES AND FEW DEEPER THUMBNAIL CREASES.THE OPENING EDGE SHOWS MINIMAL SIGNS OF HANDLING AND IS STILL STRAIGHT. THERE ARE THE INEVITABLE CORNER BUMPS PRESENT. THE CORRECTLY POSITIONED "ANGIS MCBEAN" CREDIT IS STILL FULL READABLE. THERE IS SOME EDGE WEAR PRESENT TO BOTH TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES BUT THIS IS NOT SEVERE. THE REAR OF THE SLEEVE IS EXTREMLEY CLEAN AND BRIGHT AND FEATURES JUST THE ODD HANDLING MARK (FAR LESS THAN WOULD NORMALLY BE ACCEPTABLE). THE TOP AND SIDE FLIPBACKS LIE PERFECTLY FLAT WITH JUST ONE CREASE BUT THE TOP FLIP BACK, AT THE RIGHT CORNER HAS SUFFERED FROM SOME NON SIGNIFICANT DISTRESS .THE SPINE IS PERFECT AND RIGID WITH SOME LIGHT WEAR AND ALL WORDING IS READABLE. THE SLEEVE OVERALL IS EXCEPTIONALLY CLEAN WITH BRIGHT DEEP COLOURS AND ALL LETTERING IS PERFECT. THE SLEEVE IS OF COURSE FREE FROM WRITING AND IT TOTALLY INTACT.
ALL THIS IS COMPLETE WITH ITS RARE AND ORIGIANL "NEMS" RED FLASHED PLASTIC SLEEVE. THESE SLEEVES DIRECT FROM BRIAN EPSTEINS RECORD STORE IN LIVERPOOL ARE HIGHLY SOUGHT-AFTER AND THIS IS A SUPERB EXAMPLE. DISLAYING JUST LIGHT CREASES AND THE ODD TINY "NICK", ALSO THERE IS A SLIGHT "RUBBING" MARK TO THE WHITE FLASH JUST ABOVE THE LIVERPOOL LETTERING. THE SLEEVE IS TOTALLY INTACT AND IS FREE FROM ANY SPLITS OR TEARS .THE RED LETTERING IS PERFECT AND BRIGHT WITH NO RUBBING OR FADING.
THIS IS A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO AQUIRE ONE OF THE MOST COLLECTABLE BEATLES ALBUM OF ALL TIME WHICH IS COMPLETE WITH ITS ORIGINAL NEMS SHOP SLEEVE DIRECT FROM LIVERPOOL.
