MADE IN GERMANY stamped into each run-out groove.

The Vinyl:
VG.
After giving her a gentle vacuum clean, I listened to her-all the way through and was VERY happy with the audio output!
Qulaity 139g slab of vinyl producing clear audio. I notice some light hairline marks to her, but nothing harsh to affect playback...I noticed a light revolutionary pop at the start of side 1, with Michelle having a few light pops towards the end, but that really was it and I did not find either offensive. Just some light and occasional background noise throughout...Not an audiophile copy but a very respectable copy without jumps or skips.
Strangely; I noticed a much more pronounced bass line throughout..
I also noticed a wonderful, delicate but clear bell on In My Life which bought a smile to my face...I hadn't heard this bell so clear on the UK pressings.

The Labels:
EX.
Lovely, bright white labels with a gold rim.
Free from writing and very little wear evident....The spindle marks are only visible when angled towards the light and looking for them-please see the detailed images provided.
Would frame incredibly well.

The cover:
VG+.
Front laminated and in great condition. It remains solid and free from any writing or rips.
The bottom edge has some small patches of loss, but no splits. The back card has some light staining.
 The image to the front remains deep and rich in colour and has survived the last 65 years incredibly well.

The Inner:
EX.
It is a period die-cut plain white inner in great condition, with some light ages spots-like me ;).

SO FOLKS-ALL IN ALL THIS RARER RECORD REMAINS IN SOLID CONDITION THROUGHOUT, PROVIDING A LOVELY RICH AUDIO, FREE FROM SKIPS OR JUMPS.
 VERY DISPLAYABLE LABELS & COVER TOO.
