Used

Black vinyl double LP set grades visually around Very Good Plus (VG+) with strong glossy sheen and scattered light sleeve scuffs and faint hairline surface marks across all four sides plus a few small paper-rub traces and light dust that would benefit from a gentle cleaning before play; no deep scratches, warps, cracks, or edge chips are seen and the green and white Apple logo center labels remain clean and fully legible with minimal spindle wear and no writing or added stickers. Off-white gatefold cardboard jacket with embossed The Beatles titling and stamped number No A 296235 grades visually around Very Good plus (VG+) with overall age toning, light foxing spots, minor surface soiling and handling, a soft ring-wear impression, and moderate corner and edge wear including small tip rubs and slight spine and opening-edge crimping but no seam splits or major tears.
