VISUALLY RETAINS MOST OF THE ORIGINAL GLOSS SHEEN BUT DOES HAVE SEVERAL FELLABLE SCRATCHES AND SOME LIGHT WISPY MARKS, DESPITE THIS THERE ARE NO SKIPS OR JUMPS THROUGHOUT THE RECORD AND VERY LITTLE DISTORTION. THERE IS BACKGROUND NOISE WHICH IS MORE NOTICEABLE DURING SOME TRACK AND NOT OTHERS BUT WHICH DOESN'T DETRACT FROM THE LISTENING EXPERIENCE. THIS IS A WELL USED RECORD THAT WAS BOUGHT BY A TRUE BEATLES FAN (POSSIBLY ON OR NEAR RELIES DATE) AND WHOM ENJOYED LISTENING TO IT AND IS STILL GOOD ENOUGH TO BE LISTENED TO AND ENJOYED BY THE NEXT BEATLE FAN.
OVERALL AN EARLY PRESSING AND A VERY RESPECTABLE COPY BOUGHT AND OWNED BY SOMEONE WHO LOVED LISTENING TO THE BEATLES. THIS IS A RARE CHANCE TO OWN AN ORIGINAL PRESSING FROM 1966.
