**********************************************************
Especially sought in this condition when completing UK early issue originals.
The package concept was unique and the film was The Fab Four's own production - showing their whimsical humour, unscripted and revolving around a coach trip and the characters involved.
The Beatles had progressed from 'A Hard Day's Night' and 'Help', to a somewhat psychedelic period - it's a 1960's landmark in psych music. When Brian Epstein had passed away from an accidental overdose of pills, Paul McCartney took an immediate initiative to keep the band from falling apart, and although hastily put together, this distraction worked to get their unified spirits up as a band and also keep them grounded with their public.
Critics took it too seriously and missed the point, it was meant to be without objective, so fans could just get the feeling of being on the ride, no pretence of a message or epic storyline.
The music is top standard as always, and on these discs are some truly brilliant - now classic - tracks!
CONDITION;
VINYL both MINT.
A pristine copy of both discs. EVERY nuance and instrumental stroke is CLEAR and defined, the STEREO separation absolutely revealing for imaging for every voice, harmony and instrumental inflection.
George Martin's production talent was marvelous, and this is top standard.
OUTSTANDING!
There's a slight anomaly on side 4 where there's a slight colour flaw with the vinyl, just in the run-out after the playing groove. It's probably how this copy had escaped being sold originally, as it certainly appears previously unplayed.
MATT BLACK LABLES with SILVER TEXT are spotless! No pen or stickers. 'K T' raised letter tax codes.
The LAMINATED FLIP-TAB COVER is NEAR MINT.
The inside booklet is clean and flat, blue lyrics pages.
NO laminate separation or discoloration, is simply a gorgeous full coloured example!
See photos.
