I COULD GO ON BUT IM JUST REMENICING ABOUT MY YOUTH!

THE PUSH-OUT CENTRE LABELS TO BOTH SIDES ARE IN STUNNING AND NEAR MINT CONDITION. VIEWED UNDER A BRIGHT LIGHT THERE IS JUST ONE VERY TINY SPINDLE MARK PRESENT TO EITHER SIDE. LABELS ARE CLEAN AND HAVE RETAINED THEIR DEEP BLACK COLOUR WITH VERY VIVID SILVER LETTERING....LABELS DO STILL LOOK LIKE NEW.
THE GLOSSY VINYL WHICH SHINES LIKE A MIRROR IS STUNNING. IT HAS JUST A FEW VERY LIGHT BUT SUPERFICIAL SURFACE MARKS, WHICH WILL HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY THE VINYL BEING REMOVED FROM ITS SLEEVE DURING HANDLING, IT HAS TO BE STRESSED THAT THESE REALLY ARE MINIMAL . IN NORMAL DAYLIGHT THIS VINYL LOOKS MINT........ THIS LOOKS VERY VERY APPEALING.
HOUSED IN ITS ORIGINAL PARLOPHONE SLEEVE, THE SLEEVE IS STUNNING WITH JUST VERY LIIGHT SIGNS OF AGE OR HANDLING, IT IS SPOTLESSLY CLEAN AND STILL VERY VERY CRISP.
COMPLETE WITH ITS ORIGINAL NEMS TILL RECEIPT, THIS RARE RECEIPT HAS FADED SLIGHTLY OVER THE YEARS AND HAS A SMALL TEAR TO TOP CORNER BUT ALL TEXT IS STILL CLEAR AND READABLE..THE RECEIPT STATES "NEMS,WHITECHAPEL,LIVERPOOL"..... REMARKABLE THAT THIS RARE ITEM HAS SURVIVED ALL THESE YEARS.
ALL THIS IS COMPLETE WITH IT'S ORIGINAL AND VERY ATTRACTIVE NEMS SHOP BAG, WHEN A RECORD WAS BOUGHT FROM NEMS THEY WOULD PLACE THE RECORD IN THEIR OWN SHOP BAG, AS MOST RECORD SHOP'S DID. THESE BAGS WOULD NORMALLY BE DISGARDED ONC EYOU GOT YOUR RECORD HOME AND VERY FEW HAVE SURVIVED. THIS NEMS BAG HAS SURVIVIED IN REMARKABLE CONDITION. COMPLETELY INTACT AND UNMARKED THE BAG DISPLAYS JUST LIGHT BUT EXPECTED CREASES BUT NOTHING SERIOUS. THE BAG IS STILL VERY CRISP WITH STRONG VIVID COLOURING AND IT STILL RETAINS ITS GENUINE BRIGHT WHITE COLOUR.
OVERALL A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO AQUIRE AN ORIGINAL UK 1ST PRESSING COMPLETE WITH SHOP BAG AND TILL RECEIPT DIRECT FROM BRIAN EPSTEIN'S RECORD STORE IN THE BEATLES HOMETOWN OF LIVERPOOL!
