THE SLEEVE

THE TOP-OPENING GATEFOLD WHITE SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT- CONDITION. THIS VISUALLY ARRESTING SLEEVE WAS MANUFACTURED BY GARROD & LOFTHOUSE AND HAS TWO FLIPBACKS INSIDE THE GATEFOLD. THERE IS SOME LIGHT WEAR AND SOME TANNING OUTSIDE AND INSIDE. THERE ARE A FEW TINY INDENTED MARKS. THERE ARE A FEW TINY WRINKLES IN THE LAMINATE. THERE IS A TINY BRUISE TO ONE CORNER. THERE IS A CREASE RUNNING THE LENGHT OF THE SPINE BUT THE TEXT IS STILL CLEARLY LEGIBLE. THE EMBOSSED “THE BEATLES” AND THE NUMBER “No. 0217719” ARE BOTH NICE AND CLEAR. THERE ARE NO TEARS, NO SPLITS AND NO INSCRIPTIONS.

THE BLACK INNER SLEEVES EACH HAVE ONE DIE-CUT HOLE. THESE SLEEVES ARE IN VERY GOOD CONDITION, WITH GENERAL SIGNS OF HANDLING, WEAR, CREASES, AND TWO SMALL TEARS AT THE OPENING OF ONE OF THEM. EACH HAS A SPLIT TO THE EDGE OPPOSITE THE OPENING.

THE LARGE FOLD-OUT POSTER WHICH CONTAINS LYRICS ON ONE SIDE AND PHOTOS ON THE OTHER IS IN VERY GOOD+ CONDITION WITH SOME WEAR AND SIGNS OF HANDLING. THERE IS SOME MINOR TANNING AND THE START OF SOME MINOR FOXING.

THE PHOTOS

THE FOUR PHOTO PORTRAITS OF EACH OF THE BEATLES ARE ALL IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH JUST SOME MINOR SIGNS OF HANDLING. 

THE VINYL

VISUALLY THE FOUR SIDES OF HEAVY, GLOSSY BLACK VINYL ALL APPEAR TO BE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH SOME LIGHT MARKS. I HAVE CAREFULLY LISTENED TO ALL FOUR SIDES IN FULL AND I CAN CONFIRM THAT THE SOUND QUALITY IS GENERALLY EXCELLENT AND I ONLY NOTED VARYING DEGREES OF SURFACE NOISE MAINLY DURING THE FOURTH SIDE. I THOUGHT THE FIRST THREE SIDES PLAYED AND SOUNDED GREAT.
