I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!!  BOTH records also come in their ORIGINAL 1st Press Black inner sleeves which are in GREAT condition - with NO edge splits AT ALL, and still looking VERY presentable indeed!!!!  The ULTRA RARE Poster and 4 Colour 'Prints' are all in BRILLIANT condition (see pictures) - with NO damage AT ALL!!!!  A BRILLIANT SET OF INSERTS!!!!  The ORIGINAL 1st Press 'Garrod & Lofthouse' Gatefold TOP Opening FULLY Laminated Flipback LOW 'Numbered' Cover is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear (PERFECT side words - and only the usual laminate ONLY loss on the fold line!), NO grubbyness, only slight corner wear, NO splits, only a few VERY light creases (cover is VERY flat looking indeed!), VERY shiny laminate, NO rips, NO tears, only VERY slight yellowing, NO annotations, and NO writing!!!!  The TOP opening edges are beautifully straight with barely ANY feathering AT ALL!!!!  Even the laminated inside of the cover is in SUPERB condition with NO writing, VERY nice flipbacks, STUNNING shiny 'mirror-like' laminate, NO grubbyness, and NO yellowing!!!!  The VERY LOW Number '0090971' number on the cover front is SUPERBLY printed (see picture) - and the raised lettering of 'The Beatles' on the cover front is in BRILLIANT order with barely ANY grubbyness AT ALL!!!!  The cover must grade Very Good++ if not better!!!!  THIS DOUBLE LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
