Description

THE BEATLES - 1962-1966 UK Blue Album, Limited Blue Vinyl (1978) - 2LP - Apple Records PCSP 718
I bought this for my personal collection circa 1980.  I kept it stored continuously in an outer plastic sleeve.  The vinyl was never played (until just now when I tested a few tracks for condition.)
Per Discogs, this is the "Orlake Pressing" version of this release.
The Vinyl Matrix / Runouts: 

  • Side 1: YEX + 909 + PCS 7181 + A  HTM
  • Side 2: YEX + 910 + PCS 7181 + B  OR Side 3: YEX + 911 + PCS 7182 + C  HTM Side 4: YEX + 912 + PCS 7182 + D  OR

Please look at the attached photos to see condition.
I rate the cover jacket as Very Good+ overall.  it has good gloss and looks very fine overall.  It does have a few edge creases and some edge rough spots, primarily along the jacket opening side, but no ring wear or seam splits.
The paper sleeves look excellent, with exception of a creased corner in the upper right of the first sleeve.
The Vinyl LPs had never been played previously.  With close examination, there are a few "smudge spots" and Side 2 has a couple of light surface scratches.  (See the photos for examples.)  I played Side 2 to check condition and it appears to play fine.  Very little surface noise noticed in the silent areas between tracks.
I will put a new outer plastic sleeve of the album cover and I will place the vinyl LPs in new clear inner sleeves and include the original paper sleeves also when shipping.
Please see the photos.  I am not a professional grader.  I am using my best judgement per the Goldmine grading standards.
I will take extra care with packing and shipment.  I will pack the LPs outside of the gatefold jacket to avoid any possible seam damage during shipment.  I will pack securely and ship in a Whiplash LP mailer.
Please contact me with any questions.
