Increasingly rare and highly sought after 1967 UK 1st press Beatles psych/rock classic;  excellent plus (EX+) condition gleaming, jet black sheen and sparingly played vinyl. In normal daylight each side of the vinyl appears to be unmarked and it is only with close scrutiny under a bright light that some extremely faint paper scuffs can be identified along with a couple of small and faintest of faint insignificant hairlines - all very trivial, purely superficial and not impinging upon the wonderful sound quality at all;  excellent plus (EX+) labels - again unmarked apart from a few small and extremely faint spindle trails adjacent to the centre hole on each label and with the "K" and "T" tax codes embossed upon the side 2 label;  excellent plus (EX+) condition laminated & 1st press inside flipback Garrod and Lofthouse outer sleeve with firm edges & rigid spine, near perfectly defined right angled corners with barely any rubbing, and remaining eminently presentable. The top and bottom edges are completely scuff free and the spine has just a couple of tiny scuff "nicks" and a little crinkling but nothing to impinge upon the overall impressiveness and spine text which itself remains perfectly intact. There are just a few barely noticeable 1cm surface laminate creases adjacent and perpendicular to the spine on each of the front and reverse sides but these are very trivial. The opening edges are devoid of any fraying and all art work/colours, photos, and text remain vibrant, impressively intact and with great definition still.  Truly excellent plus (EX+) STEREO sound quality with no skips, repeats, jumps, clicks, distortion, or interference and any background crackle is at an absolute minimum...negligible, in fact - just great tone and wonderful clarity throughout with every track remaining a timeless and brilliant listen. When the final prolonged bar of "A Day In The Life" is accompanied by no interference or crackle at all then you know that you have a great copy of this wonderful LP, and that is exactly the case here!  

Comes complete with 1st press near mint (NM) condition and unused Peter Blake cardboard cut-out, and original "MADE IN GREAT BRITAIN & "PATENTS APPLIED FOR" excellent plus (EX+) condition red & white/flame psychedelic inner sleeve with no side splits, barely any creasing and no age discolouration except for x4 small and very mild age marks towards the bottom edge of the front side. 

A truly excellent condition copy of this timeless classic with outstanding STEREO sound quality throughout.

I do provide posting and packaging discounts for multiple purchases. I make no profit from postage.

Note that I always insert the vinyl into a new plain white poly-lined inner sleeve in order to protect the original during postage, and separate this from the outer sleeve to prevent seam splits. I use thick cardboard stiffeners and take great care in my packaging to ensure as far as possible that these precious records reach their destination in exactly the same condition as when they leave me.

 If you require any further information, including photos, then let me know and I'll do my best to oblige.

A bit about myself : I have been collecting UK vinyl for over 54 years from a variety of sources : my own collection, friends and family, car boot and garage sales, door-to-door leaflets, and even through placing an advert in my wife's shop window! My ebay feedback speaks for itself so rest assured that you are buying from a trusted seller and in the very unlikely event that you are unhappy with your purchase just e-mail me and I will sort out the problem. I offer a "no questions asked" refund policy. If you require any further information, including photos, then let me know and I'll do my best to oblige. There is NO RESERVE on this item. Richard
