The sleeve is in wonderful condition. No heavy creases or writing on it. No tears and only a couple of thin line creases at the edges. The spine is straight and true and fully legible. None of the edges shows any sign of wear and not even a corner bump. Beautiful vibrant colour with no fading.
The rear is equally impressive. No grubbiness no writing or marks. Use the zoom facility for a better view.
The vinyl is in super condition and plays as easily EX. Barely any spindle marks showing how little it has been played.
Clean unmarked labels with the rare variation (about 1 in 10 have it) where the asterisks after "I NEED YOU" and before the HARRISON credit DO not have a space before/after them. See photo.
There are NO LOUD pops NO LOUD repetitive clicks or LOUD TICS.
Absolutely nothing serious like repeats or skips.

Grading is as follows based on collector magazine UK
MINT: Virtually unplayed. The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. Cover is pristine.
EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
V.G PLUS: The record will still be nice and shiny, but may have a few light marks, and will play well. Slight wear and tear on the cover.
V.G: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items.
GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, etc.
FAIR: Fair. It is noticeable that the record has been played so much that the sound quality has deteriorated very noticeably. The cover and contents are showing signs of folding, scuffing of edges etc.
Further information. All records are separated from the covers and sent in a brand new polythene sleeve and packed in heavy duty cardboard.
