Details for this item:
The Gatefold Sleeve: - original Garrod & Lofthouse fully laminated and top loading gatefold sleeve with embossed "The BEATLES" text on the front side and numbered "0029194". There is the occasional very light mark on the outside of the gatefold, some minor vertical marks next to the front-side right edge, all edges are solid with, not much scuffing , some light fraying on the top edges. The spine remains rigid with all spine text nicely readable, some of the laminate has lifted. The condition of the interior of the gatefold is excellent
The Inner Sleeve(s): - 2 original black inner sleeves which have a few tears, edge fraying, and seam splits, as they do! Vinyl housed in replacement inners to protect them
The Labels: - a number of light spindle trails around centre hole on each, all black text upon the dark green Apple background remaining intact, no writing; and the omission of the "An EMI Recording" text on each label - a true indicator of a very 1st pressing (see ref above)
The Lyric Poster and 4 Portraits: - Poster is in very good plus condition, a few very small handling marks, and the folds nicely intact , slight seam split and small split at the edge of two of the folds The four photos are in great condition with no creasing or tears, and the spacer is present
The Vinyl: - All 4 sides have many hairlines and light surface scuffs, squiggly marks. They are non-feelable and surface only -. A longer 'line' across most of side 4 that is more noticeable; No nasty , deep marks and nothing that causes any playback issues though, no jumps , just crackle in the run ins, some clicks and the odd pop etc.
The Listening Experience:
Side one: - light crackle between tracks and on run-ins, the music comes across really well, nice, powerful mono sound
Side Two: - same as side one, accept for there are clicks more noticeable on 'I Will'
Side Three: - again, light crackle in the quiet bits, the loud powerful bits sound fantastic!
Side Four: - Starts off quite crackly, bit of background noise, overall it doesn’t detract , still a good listen
