CONDITION

The Vinyl grades as VERY Near MINT 

On initial visual inspection the playing surface looks awesome I can't see even a blemish. Any marks that could possibly be seen under a strong would be caused by the vinyl been slid in and out of its sleeve! Importantly There is (no) needle scratches or audio sounding marks that I heard at all  !!!!! 

UNPLAYED LOOKING CONDITION , SHOP FRESH !!!! AMAZING AFTER 50 YEARS !!!!

This wonderful sounding, well looked-after disc has received a careful Test play on top quality equipment only. Both playing surfaces retain all of their deep-gloss mirror like factory shine with no harmless wispy inner-sleeve removal marks & a sparkling rainbow shine visible beneath halogen light. The sound is totally unworn with no traces of any audible wear or distractions anywhere.


The Audio Quality   NEAR MINT

I have played this through track for track at very loud volume on a top REGA system,  the audio is awesome! 

Cristal clear and vibrant through out, with (no) distortion or any signs of groove ware at all!!!! 

Certainly (no) clicks pops or jumps!!  As good as it gets in my opinion!! 

THIS AUDIO IS RATED AT THE VERY TOP ON ALL FREQUENCIES! 

UNBELIEVABLE FOR A VINYL THAT IS 50 YEARS OLD!!!!! 

IN MY OPINION THESE ORIGINAL PRESSINGS PRODUCE THE BEST AUDIO QUALITY CAN NOT BE SURPASSED BY LATER PRESSINGS!!!

Only the tiniest of sleeve removal marks, on the superb audio playback on my Rega system, otherwise, superb glossy rainbow finish LOOKS UNPLAYED !!!! 


Labels are Near MINT

Only one or two spindle lines visible again only under a strong light !!!!! CONFIRMING ONE OR TWO PLAYS IN 50 YEARS , AMAZING !!!! 

Sleeve grades as  NEAR MINT also, SUPERB Glossy laminated front and back, no splits, fully legible spine

This is the original Glossy Printed laminated gate fold cover in absolutely super condition!! Super glossy appearance !!

One blemish above Apple on Rear (see picture ) but (NO) SPLITS OR NASTY NAMES WRITTEN ON ETC 

 VERY GLOSSY AND VERY RICH IN COLOUR  (VERY RARELY EVER SEEN IN THIS CONDITION)  Superb UNMARKED FULLY LEGIBLE spine (see photos) SO RARE TO FIND A  COVER LIKE THIS AFTER 50 YEARS !!!!! LOVELY !!!

THE MISPRINT SLEEVE WITH THE MIS ALIGNED APPLE TO THE TEXT  MAKES THIS A MUCH SORT AFTER VINYL FOR ANY BEATLES VINYL COLLECTOR, IN ANY CONDITION, !!

 BUT MADE EVEN RARER IN THIS NEAR MINT EXAMPLE OF THIS  50 YEAR OLD MEGA-RARE VINYL.!!!!
