THE SLEEVE
THE FULLY LAMINATED SLEEVE IS IN EXCELLENT+ CONDITION. THERE IS SOME VERY SLIGHT WEAR AND THERE ARE A FEW TINY WRINKLES IN THE LAMINATE. THE EDGES AND CORNERS ARE ALL NICE AND ALL THE TEXT ON THE ‘FLUTED’ SPINE IS PERFECTLY LEGIBLE.
THE INNER SLEEVE
THE PRINTED INNER SLEEVE WITH SWIRLING LYRICS IS IN VERY GOOD+ CONDITION WITH SOME WEAR & LIGHT TANNING. THERE ARE NO SPLITS. THERE ARE TWO VER SMALL INSCRIPTIONS ON ONE SIDE WHERE THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAS CORRECTED THE MISPRINTED LYRICS FOR ‘HOW DO YOU SLEEP?’.
THE POSTER
THE FOLD-OUT GIANT POSTER, FEATURING JOHN LENNON AT THE FAMOUS WHITE PIANO IS IN EXCELLENT+ CONDITION. IT HAS NEVER BEEN PINNED UP AND APART FROM IT’S ORIGINAL FOLDS I CAN ONLY SEE SOME VERY SLIGHT WEAR AND SIGNS OF CAREFUL HANDLING.
THE POST CARD
THE POST CARD, FEATURING JOHN LENNON AND PIG, IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION WITH MINOR SIGNS OF WEAR.
THE VINYL
VISUALLY THE HEAVY BLACK VINYL IS IN EXCELLENT+ CONDITION AND UNDER BRIGHT LIOGHT I CAN ONLY SEE A FEW TINY MARKS. I HAVE FULLY PLAYED BOTH SIDES AND I CAN CONFIRM THAT THE SIDE QUALITY IS SUPERB THROUGHOUT.
THE LABELS
THE JOHN LENNON APPLE LABELS ARE BOTH IN EXCELLENT+ CONDITION WITH JUST A FEW TINY SPINDLE MARKS.
