Welcome to another batch of vinyl records from my collection. I have been collecting records since 1969 and have over 2,000 LP's. I generally only sell on eBay some duplicates or records that I no longer listen to. All the records in my collection have been cleaned with anti-stat record cleaner and placed in a new anti-stat poly-lined inner sleeve and the cover placed in a new polythene outer sleeve. Please note my 100% positive feedback from previous listings on eBay, these are my first listings since before lockdown. I test play all the records being listed and give a detailed account of the condition of the cover and vinyl. Sorry, I now only sell to UK buyers as overseas sales are now VAT rated and postage services are not very reliable. All records are posted 2nd class signed for/trackable in boxed mailers with thick cardboard stiffening to prevent any damage in the post.
Anyway, here we have :

VINYL : VISUALLY IN LIGHTLY PLAYED VERY GOOD PLUS CONDITION WITH SOME SPINDLE MARKS ON THE LABELS. JUST A FEW LIGHT SURFACE MARKS VISIBLE. PLAYBACK WAS IN MOSTLY EXCELLENT AUDIO CONDITION WITH HARDLY ANY CRACKLE AT ALL, JUST A LITTLE BACKGROUND CRACKLE DURING 'SHE'S LEAVING HOME' ON SIDE 1. A FEW LIGHT BACKGROUND TICS FOR A FEW SECONDS AT THE END OF 'RITA METER MAID' INTO 'GOOD MORNING GOOD MORNING' AND SOME CLICKS DURING 'A DAY IN THE LIFE' ON SIDE 2 BUT NOTHING INTRUSIVE AT ALL, NO SKIPS OR JUMPS. THIS SOUNDS SUPERB WITH THE MONO SOUND RIGHT TO THE FORE, A GREAT AUDIO COPY! THIS HAS THE 'NEVER COULD SEE ANY OTHER WAY' REPEATED CONTINUOUSLY IN THE LOCKED GROOVE AT THE VERY END OF SIDE 2.  OVERALL IN VERY GOOD PLUS CONDITION..
LAMINATED GATE FOLD SLEEVE : VERY MINIMAL CORNER OR EDGE WEAR. JUST A FEW LIGHT LAMINATE CREASES BUT ONE VERY SMALL SPLIT ON THE SPINE. INSIDE THE GATEFOLD HAS NO ISSUES, SEE THE MANY PICTURES. OVERALL IN VERY GOOD PLUS CONDITION.  I HAVE PLACED THE COVER IN A NEW POLYTHENE OUTER SLEEVE.
ORIGINAL FOOLS INNER SLEEVE : GOOD CONDITION WITH JUST MINIMAL CREASING BUT WITH SOME AREAS OF PINK PRINT LOSS AND A NAME WRITTEN ON ONE SIDE. THE CLEANED RECORD IS NOW HOUSED IN A BRAND NEW ANTI-STAT INNER SLEEVE.
OVERALL A SUPERB MONO FIRST PRESSING COPY OF THIS ICONIC BEATLES ALBUM.
