Record condition: Very good condition with light surface marks visible. No major scratches or anything that affects the play badly. I've played both sides of the record and there is a bit of background noise in between tracks and an odd crackle & pop here and there, but there are no stops or sticks and the record plays well all the way through.     

Label condition:  The labels are both in very good condition with no writing or damage. There is evidence of play around the spindle hole on both sides, but it is certainly not excessive for a played album in this condition. 

Outer Sleeve/Cover:  Original laminated front flip-back outer sleeve printed and made by Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd., in very good condition as well. The laminate is complete and hasn't lifted. There are a few very tiny ripples towards the edges and a bit of feathering showing along the opening edge with a 1cm. tear in the middle of the opening edge and a very tiny tear just above and below it. The rear flip-back has an abrasion running along the side of the song titles, but it is not excessive and I think perfectly acceptable for the grading. All in all a really nice cover that should not disappoint.

Spine condition: The spine itself is in fabulous condition. After all this time, it is still incredibly straight and square and all the printing is undamaged and shows clearly,

    Inner Sleeve: Original lined die-cut inner sleeve in very good condition with a tiny tear by the centre hole on one side.

Summary:  Classic early Beatles 1st Press LP in very good, original condition.

I have been a collector of Vinyl records since the late 1960's and have been selling on eBay for over 12 years. I also sell Music Memorabilia, Die-cast Models, Motoring Memorabilia and interesting items from the 1960's & 1970's, the best decades I feel in my life. I have a huge collection and only sell items of quality that I am proud to own myself. I describe everything honestly and take pride in my feedback and customer comments left for me. I offer a full refund if anything is not up to the standard I have described.

All my records are played and graded by the "Bible" Record Collector's Grading System. Please see below:-

MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extras such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition.

EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.  

SO THERE YOU HAVE IT. YOU CAN BID ON MY ITEMS, BUY MY ITEMS WITH CONFIDENCE.

ANY PROBLEMS I WILL ALWAYS SORT THEM OUT.

QUALITY AND SERVICE GUARANTEED.
