RECORD SLEEVE DOES SHOW SOME WEAR PARICULARILY DOWN THE SPINE EDGE WERE THERE IS SOME DISCOLOURATION IN THE MIDDLE AND TO THE BOTTOM ON THE FRONT ,THERE ARE ALSO ODD SCRATCH TYPE MARKS BACK AND FRONT ,THE GATEFOLD INNER ALSO SHOWS SOME LIGHT DISCOLOURATION ON THE SEAM TOP AND BOTTOM ( A LOT OF THIS IS HARD TO SEE AS THE SLEEVE IS CREAMY IN COLOUR) BUT THE NUMBER IS CLEARLY VISIBLE
BLACK DIE CUT INNERS ARE IN CLEAN CONDITION BUT ONE HAS SOME LIGHT CREASING AROUND THE CENTREHOLE ( HARD TO SEE BECAUSE OF THE BLACK COLOUR )
POSTER IS ALSO IN SIMILAR GOOD CONDITION BUT DOES HAVE A COUPLE OF INVISIBLE TAPE REPAIRS AND CREASING IN THE CENTRE
ALL FOUR PHOTOS ARE PRESENT AND UNMARKED
SIDE 1 VINYL HAS A GLOSSY SHEEN TO THE SURFACE BUT DOES HAVE HANDLING AND LIGHT NEEDLE MARKS NONE OF WHICH APPEAR FEELABLE
LABEL DOES HAVE A TAPE MARK ON IT BUT ALL THE TEXT IS LEGIBLE AND THERE ARE SOME SPINDLE MARKS SHOWING
SIDE 2 VINYL AGAIN HAS A GLOSSY SHEEN TO THE SURFACE AND LIGHT NONE FEELABLE NEEDLE AND HANDLING MARKS ,THE LABEL IS BRIGHT AND CLEAN AND AGAIN DOES SHOW SOME SPINDLE MARKS
SIDE 3 VINYL AGAIN COMES WITH A GLOSSY SURFACE WITH LIGHT NEEDLE AND HANDLING MARKS BUT NOTHING FEELABLE ,LABEL IS IN NICE CLEAN CONDITION WITH LIGHT SPINDLE MARKS
SIDE 4 VINYL AGAIN HAS A GLOSSY SURFACE FINISH WITH LIGHT HANDLING AND NEEDLE MARKS NOTHING THAT APPEARS FEELABLE AND THE LABEL IS BRIGHT AND CLEAN
MOST OF THE SURFACE AND NEEDLE MARKS REFERRED WERE MAINLY VIEWED UNDER A BRIGHT LIGHT YOU GET A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE IN DAYLIGHT
BOTH VINYL RECORDS SHOW VERY LITTLE WEAR AT THE CENTRE HOLE
WE PLAY TEST ON A SIXTIES HI-FI FOR REVIEW OF THE AUDIO PLEASE REMEMBER MORE MODERN SYSTEMS CAN GIVE A DIFFERENT RESPONSE
THE RUN IN ON SIDE 1 COMES WITH A LITTLE CRACKLING AND SIMILARILY THE TRACK "GLASS ONION"
SIDE 2 HAS SOME LIGHT POPS ON THE TRACK "DONT PASS ME BY"
SIDE 3 HAS SOME LIGHT CLICKS AT THE END OF "YER BLUES" INTO "MOTHER NATURES SON"
SIDE 4 HAS LIGHT CRACKLES ON THE RUN IN AND SOME SIMILAR CRACKLES ON "HONEY PIE" AND LIGHT CLICKS ON THE RUN IN OF "REVOLUTION 9"
HAVING SAID ALL THAT BOTH RECORDS PLAY THROUGH WITHOUT ANY STICKING OR JUMPING AND AT VOLUME IT WAS STILL AN EXCELLENT ALBUM TO LISTEN TO
MOST OF THE EARLY NUMBERED ALBUMS WERE BOUGHT REALLY TO BE PLAYED ,ITS 1968 NEW BEATLES ALBUM JUST COME OUT YOUR NOT GOING TO STORE IT AWAY IF YOUR A FAN YOUR GOING TO PLAY IT SO A LOT OF THESE LOW NUMBERED PRESSINGS WERE PLAYED MANY TIMES
WE WERE GOING TO LIST THIS WITHOUT THE VINYL BUT IT CAME AS A ONE OWNER SET SO EVEN WITH THE ISSUES LISTED ABOVE AND PARTICULARILY ITS LOW NUMBER WE THOUGHT IT WAS BEST TO AUCTION IT ALTOGETHER AS IT HAS BEEN FOR THE LAST 54 YEARS
