  FULLY LAMINATED OUTER SLIP CASE   This is the original fully laminated Garrod & Lofthouse outer slip case, designed by John Kosh.This example has survived very well, with no nasty tears ,laminate bubbles or lifting etc. There are a couple small half-moon creases and some light wear to the corner edges but this is minimal and the overall appearance is very clean and bright , the rear is also very bright and clean with the white lower text , nothing more than some faint impressions ,overall a very nice example of this fragile outer slip (see-pics)  EXCELLENT MINUS CONDITION               OUTER TRAY    Original outer tray with the heavy grey coloured card and the rounded corners on the side flaps .Again this has survived very well with no rips, missing pieces etc and just some light storage wear to the edges  ( see-pics) EXCELLENT MINUS CONDITION            INNER TRAY   As most will already know, these inner trays that house the book are very hard to find in complete original state as most are completely torn to shreads and many replaced with the new manufactured re-issues but this one is a genuine original and still intact with nothing more than 2 small tears across the bottom boxed edge section , other than this minor issue , it's in very respectable condition ! ( see-pics ) strong VERY GOOD PLUS CONDITION             BOOK  'Get Back '   This fantastic soft back / fully laminated book contains 164 pages of exclusive pictures and transcripts from the recording and filming of the album .Photos by Ethan A Russell and text by Jonathan Cott & David Dalton. This book is the best example we have seen, all pages are in pristine condition with no loose or missing , the spine ,edges , front and rear are perfect and the only fault is a tiny laminate bubble along the top edge of the spine / front cover , if it wasn't for this minor issue would be stone cold mint ! stunning example ( see-pics )  EXCELLENT PLUS CONDITION                ALBUM COVER   Again this is the original cover with the red apple logo on the rear ( later issues came with green apple ) Garrod & Lofthouse fully laminated single wallet type cover. Laminate is still very glossy with no bubbles or lifting etc , however there are a couple of smal stress creases from the edges , the bottom edge also has a little wear and there is a faint ringwear to both sides , the rear has had a name written and then removed , which when viewed on an angle you can see a faint impression , very discreet .Allthough there are a few minor points with this cover , it's still in presentable shape and they are all just signs of storage wear .No it's not the best example but still a clean worthy one ( see-pics ) VERY GOOD PLUS CONDITION           INNER SLEEVE   Original plain white inner sleeve with the Made in Great Britain & Patent No 1,125,555  lower print .Very clean and bright with no writing , tears etc  ( see-pics) EXCELLENT  CONDITION    

VINYL

Both sides retain a glossy shine with fresh looks ,closer inspection reveals a couple of faint surface marks but nothing too serious and no nasty scratches or scuffs .All tracks play through well without any pops,skips or repeats and just a couple of soft ticks and very low crackle on the odd occassion , not a near mint copy but above average, looks nice and plays fine ( see-pics ) Both Visualy and Audibly VERY GOOD PLUS  CONDITION .       THE LABELS   Original 1st issued dark green apple which are in very clean and bright condition with no writing ,stains  etc just a couple of  faint miss-aimed spindle traces,  EXCELLENT MINUS CONDITION   ( see-pics)         APPLE PROMOTIONAL  POSTER / FLYER   Again this is an original genuine poster which has no splits, tears tape marks , pin holes or writing ! all the corners are sharp as are the edges , just a couple of faint very light marks here and there , mainly visable on the rear  ( see-pics) EXCELLENT MINUS CONDITION       OVERALL A NICE  GENUINE ORIGINAL COMPLETE SET ! BECOMING VERY HARD TO FIND !
