AN "EMI RECORDING" TEXT TO ALL FOUR LABELS

DISC 1

THE VERY DARK GREEN, 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 SPOTLESSLY CLEAN AND RETAIN THEIR ORIGINAL LUSTRE. BOTH SIDES ARE EXTREMELY BRIGHT WITH NO FLAWS, BLEMISHES OR FAULTS WHATSOEVER.

THE GLOSSY VINYL IS ALSO EXCELLENT, THIS COPY HAS BEEN PLAYED AND CLOSE INSPECTION UNDER A STRONG LIGHT REVEALS JUST VERY VERY LIGHT AND WISPY SURFACE MARKS AND SOME VERY LIGHT NEEDLE MARK..IT MUST BE STRESSED THAT NONE ARE SEVERE OR FEELABLE BUT SOME ARE NOTICEABLE IN NORMAL DAYLIGHT. 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 EXCELLENT... THERE IS SOME MILD STATIC CRACKLE EVIDENT TO ALL RUN IN/OFF GROOVES AND THE ODD TRACK GROOVE, THIS CAN ALSO BE HEARD DURING SOME OF THE QUIETER TRACKS THERE IS ALSO ONE VERY VERY QUICK AND LIGHT SKIP TO "BIRTHDAY" BUT I MUST STRESS THAT THIS IS HARDLY NOTICEABLE.  THE STEREO AUDIO IS HOWEVER STILL STRONG AND CLEAR. THE VINYL OF COURSE PLAYS THROUGH WITH NO OTHER STICKS OR JUMPS WHATSOEVER.

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

THE GLOSSY VINYL IS  AS GOOD AS DISC ONE HOWEVER THIS DISC PLAYS THROUGH FINE WITH NO SKIPS OR JUMPS.

AUDIO IS AGAIN AS DISC ONE EXCEPT FOR ONE QUICK SKIP ON "IM SO TIRED" (DO BEAR THIS IN MIND)

COMPLETE WITH ORIGINAL BLACK INNERS. THE INNERS ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION....STILL QUITE CRISP  THE INNERS DISPLAY SOME INEVITABLE CREASES AND SOME MILD HANDLING TO THE TOP OPENING EDGES, ONE INNER HAS A HAD SOME SMALL "NICKS" REPAIRED TO THE CENTRE HOLE BUT OTHER THAN THAT BOTH INNERS ARE FULLY INTACT.

THE ORIGINAL FACTORY FOLDED POSTER IS VERY GOOD .THIS HAS NEVER BEEN DISPLAYED AND DISPLAYS SOME SIGNS OF AGE AND HANDLING AND SOME LIGHT CREASING ,THE POSTER IS HOWEVER FULLY INTACT AND FREE FROM ANY SPLITS,TEARS OR WRITING.  

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

 THE SLEEVE IS EXCELLENT.. IT DOES SHOW SOME SIGNS OF AGE AND HANDLING, THE FRONT DOES NOT DISPLAY ANY EDGE WRINKLES OR  CREASES AND SHOWS JUST MILD AGE TONING TO THE EDGES AND A SMALL "RUBBING" MARK TO THE SPINE EDGE.  THE REAR IS VERY MUCH AS PER THE FRONT BUT DOES HAVE A FEW EDGE WRINKLES BUT AGAIN HAS NO ACTUAL CREASES. THE INNER SHOWS JUST VERY VERY LIGHT HANDLING MARKS, THE INNER SEAMS ARE PERFECT AND FLAT AND THE PICTURES AND TEXT ARE UNSPOILT . THE SPINE SHOWS LIGHT AGEING WITH SOME LIGHT FEELABLE WEAR BUT IS STILL RIGID AND FIRM THE BEATLES LOGO AND THE  NUMBER "0389629" ARE BOTH SILL HIGHLY VISIBLE. THE SLEEVE IS COMPLETELY INTACT AND FREE FROM ANY WRITING AND CARRIES THE CORRECT 'STEREO' LOGO TO THE REAR.

OVERALL AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE OF THIS ORIGINAL UK STEREO1ST PRESSING.
