DISC 1

THE VERY DARK GREEN AND SLIGHTLY TEXTURED, EARLY APPLE LABELS TO BOTH SIDES ARE IN EXCELLENT+ CONDITION WITH NO UNWANTED MARKS OR WRITING. CLOSE INSPECTION UNDER A BRIGHT LIGHT REVEALS JUST VERY LIGHT BUT MINIMAL SPINDLE MARKS PRESENT TO ALL SIDES.THE LABELS ARE SPOTLESSY CLEAN AND RETAIN THEIR ORIGINAL LUSTRE. BOTH SIDES ARE EXTREMELY BRIGHT WITH NO FLAWS, BLEMISHES OR FAULTS WHATSOEVER.

THE GLOSSY VINYL IS ALSO STUNNING, CLOSE INSPECTION UNDER A STRONG LIGHT REVEALS JUST VERY VERY LIGHT AND WISPY SURFACE MARKS AND THE ODD VERY LIGHT NEEDLE MARK..IT MUST BE STRESSED THAT NONE ARE SEVERE OR FEELABLE AND NONE AFFECT THE AUDIO AND ARE EXTREMELY MINIMAL.THE BRIGHT VINYL LIES PERFECTLY FLAT WITH NO WARPING AND NO NEEDLE LIFT WHEN PLAYED. THE VINYL HAS SUFFERED NO DULLING TO ITS ORIGINAL SHINY SURFACE AND IS COMPLETELY UNBLEMISHED.

AUDIO IS SUPERB... ONE CAREFUL PLAY BY MYSELF REVEALS A NEAR PERFECT AND UNINTERRUPTED PERFORMANCE THROUGHOUT, THERE IS SOME MILD STATIC CRACKLE EVIDENT TO ALL RUN IN/OFF GROOVES AND THE ODD TRACK GROOVE BUT EVEN THE  QUIETER TRACKS ARE PERFECT, THE MONO AUDIO IS STRONG AND CLEAR. THE VINYL OF COURSE PLAYS THROUGH WITH NO STICKS, POPS OR JUMPS WHATSOEVER..... A GENUINE PERFECT LISTENING EXPERIENCE.

DISC 2 THE APPLE LABELS TO BOTH SIDES ARE AGAIN AS DISC ONE.

THE GLOSSY VINYL IS EQUALLY AS GOOD AS DISC ONE EXCEPT FOR TWO VERY LIGHT "BLEMISH" TYPE MARKS ACROSS TRACKS ONE & TWO BUT THESE ARE SO LIGHT THAT THEY ARE ONLY VISIBLE IN STRONG LIGHT WHEN THE VINYL IS ANGLED AND I MUST STRESS THAT THEY DO NOT AFFECT THE AUDIO..

AUDIO IS AGAIN AS DISC ONE

COMPLETE WITH ORIGINAL BLACK INNERS. THE INNERS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION....STILL CRISP AND STILL THEIR ORIGINAL DEEP BLACK COLOUR THE INNERS DISPLAY JUST THE INEVITABLE CREASES FROM THE VINYL SITTING IN THE SLEEVES AND SOME MILD HANDLING TO THE TOP OPENING EDGES BOTH INNERS ARE FREE FROM ANY NICKS, TEARS OR SPLITS AND HAVE NOT BEEN REPAIRED IN ANY WAY..

THE ORIGINAL FACTORY FOLDED POSTER IS EXCELLENT .THIS HAS NEVER BEEN DISPLAYED AND DISPLAYS JUST VERY LIGHT SIGNS OF HANDLING AND SOME VERY MILD CREASING ,THE POSTER IS HOWEVER STILL VERY CLEAN AND CRISP AND FREE FROM ANY FAULTS. 

THE ORIGINAL FOUR PHOTOS ARE PRESENT AND ARE  AGAIN IN EXCELLENT CONDITION,AGAIN THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN DISPLAYED.

THE RARE PAPER SPACER IS ALSO EXCELLENT, IT DISPLAYS JUST MILD CREASES BUT NO HANDLING MARKS AND IS TOTALLY INTACT.

NOW FOR THE MOST IMPORTANT COMPONENT OF THIS SET....THE GATEFOLD LAMINATED "GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE" ULTRA LOW NUMBERED SLEEVE....

  THIS IS A GENUNE TOP QUALITY  EXAMPLE . THE SLEEVE IS STILL ITS TRUE BRIGHT WHITE/CREAMY COLOUR. THE FRONT SHOWS JUST THREE OR FOUR MINUTE EDGE WRINKLES TO THE RIGHT EDGE AND JUST ONE  ACTUAL CREASE TOWARDS THE TOP RIGHT CORNER BUT THIS IS NOT DEEP OR SEVERE, THE FRONT IS EXTREMLEY GLOSSY AND STILL VERY CLEAN WITH  JUST THE FAINTEST HINT OF "YELLOWING" VISIBLE (VERY VERY MILD AND HARDLY WORTH MENTIONING) THE OPENING TOP EDGES DISPLAY JUST THE SMALLEST SIGNS OF  HANDLING/WEAR. THERE ARE NO CORNER BUMPS PRESENT. THE INNER IS VERY MUCH AS PER THE FRONT WITH PERFECT INNER SEAMS AND ALL THE  PICTURES AND TEXT ARE PERFECT, THE INNER IS SPOTLESSY CLEAN. THE REAR IS EXCEPTIONAL WITH NO EDGE WRINKLES AND  NO ACTUAL CREASES, AGAIN IT IS SPOTLESSLY CLEAN. THE SPINE IS PERFECTLY RIGID WITH JUST THE LIGHTEST HINT OF "FEELABLE" WEAR EVIDENT BUT ALL SPINE TEXT IS STILL VISIBLE AND UNSPOILT. "THE BEATLES" LOGO AND THE VERY APPEALING LOW NUMBER 0000783 ARE STILL HIGHLY VISIBLE AND THE NUMBER HAS NOT SUFFERED ANY RUBBING OR FADING. THE SLEEVE IS FIRM, STRONG AND RIGID WITH NO FAULTS AND STILL DISPLAYS THAT "AS NEW" CRACKING SOUND WHEN OPENED. THIS HAS CLEARLY BEEN WELL STORED AND LOOKED AFTER OVER THE YEARS AND THIS HAS HELPED TO PRESERVE THIS SLEEVE IN SUCH FABULOUS OVERALL CONDITION. 

LOW NUMBERED "WHITE ALBUMS" ARE ALWAYS HIGHLY SOUGHT-AFTER BY ALL COLLECTORS, SLEEVES WHICH CARRY A THREE DIGIT NUMBER SELDOM SURFACE FOR SALE (THIS IS ONE OF THE LOWEST NUMBERS THAT WE HAVE EVER OFFERED FOR SALE) AND ARE NOW VIEWED AS INVESTMENT PIECES..... A COPY NUMBERED AS LOW AS THIS WILL CERTAINLY APPEAL TO THE MOST DISCERNING OF COLLECTORS AND WILL DEFINITELY BE A GENUINE ENHANCEMENT TO ANY BEATLES COLLECTION.
