Visually the vinyl has a fair amount of surface wear. There are a fair few spindle trails and marks on the labels of both sides, with a sticky name tag on Side 1 and it's pretty clear that this record was handled / played a lot back in it's day. There are scuffs, scratches, etc. Despite this, it still manages to play through rather nicely, and without jumping or skipping anywhere. Luckily the grooves aren't intensely worn down which often happens on this pressing in specific, the inner groove tracks don't have any extra nasties / high frequency distortion and overall I'd say that overall the audio grading lies somewhere around Very Good - and some tracks on Side 2 can definitely push Very Good, but not any higher than that.
There is crackle on most tracks but luckily for the most part it's not too intense and the music can often drown it out, it's the most noticeable on quieter tracks like "Eleanor Rigby" and "Here, There And Everywhere" - these are the tracks that wore down the quickest when played on uncalibrated equipment back in their day. The scuffs / scratches can cause ticks and pops but luckily there aren't too many, the worst spots being some rotational ticks at the endings of "I'm Only Sleeping" and "Doctor Robert" and also a few loud ticks at the beginning of "Good Day Sunshine". I'd wager that a lot of the surface wear is superficial as the record definitely plays better than it looks. By no means is it minty fresh but it still manages to bring a good playback for it's age and how it looks.

The track that matters the most, "Tomorrow Never Knows", actually plays surprisingly well in comparison to some of the other tracks and if you sum your cartridge to mono, you can eliminate a lot of the surface noise and it overall sounds rather enjoyable and I think with those conditions met, that track can actually play at a very strong VG, maybe even VG+ standard. The vinyl does have a visible storage warp to it but on my system, it doesn't affect the sound in any way at all.

Please note your results with this may vary. I listen to my records using a very revealing transcription deck and I have play-graded this in stereo to avoid disappointment. Summing your cartridge to mono will improve the sound, and it does a fair bit with this record. I've added links below to listen to this record to judge for yourself as the grading is ultimately subjective, after all. This copy does crackle and it's far from perfect, but I don't think it's as worn as you'd generally expect.
Please also note that my camera does not pick up the condition of the record surfaces as well as I'd like it to, the record visually isn't mint; It's in an alright but worn shape and I've definitely handled much, much worse.




The original, rarer Ernest J. Day flipback cover is in Very Good condition. It's holding together quite well with no tears or splits but there's some apparent yellowing and wear to the back panel, plus some spots of wear on the corners/ edges, same with the flipback flaps and some light foxing to the openings. It still feels good in the hand and it's nice to look at but it still has aged and it's not minty fresh. Luckily the spine is still nice and readable!
Comes with it's original inner sleeve which is overall in a nice shape. It's unfortunately rather yellowed but luckily there aren't any seam splits at all and it's holding together well! Just some light creasing on the openings / glued tabs.




This record isn't an endgame copy by any means, however for people interested in buying purely for the unreleased mix of "Tomorrow Never Knows" you might be pleasantly surprised and I think this listing is still a solid choice for buying this rare pressing.


I'm willing to combine postage on multiple purchases. Any questions, please give me a shout! Thank you
