Condition

Vinyl: EXCELLENT

The record is in excellent condition for a 1965 pressing, with a very attractive appearance. Please note that this is a 60-year-old original record and should be assessed as vintage vinyl rather than compared with a modern, newly pressed record.

Outer sleeve/cover: EXCELLENT

The original Garrod & Lofthouse sleeve presents very well and retains the classic appearance of this early UK Beatles release.

Inner sleeve: FAIR / GOOD

The original inner sleeve shows age and wear consistent with its considerable age. Please examine the photographs carefully for the precise condition.

A wonderful piece of Beatles history

For collectors, the attraction of this copy is the combination of the original 1965 UK mono issue, the XEX 579-1 / XEX 580-1 “Loud Cut” matrices, KT tax code and original Garrod & Lofthouse sleeve.

This is not a later reissue or modern reproduction, but an early UK Parlophone pressing from the original release period of one of The Beatles’ most important albums.

A beautiful and highly collectible piece of 1960s Beatles vinyl.

Please study all photographs carefully and feel free to ask any questions before purchasing.
