The BEATLES
======================================================================
*The BEATLES* UK Mono pressing - 1968
================================================================ 
NO OFFERS PLEASE - AUCTION ONLY    ================================================================ I don't want to waste your time here. This is a complete, original set in reasonably good condition overall, with discs that play without skipping or stalling but it is far from perfect. However, if you read the write-up below, you will know exactly what to expect, rather than risking your money on an unhelpful 'condition is used', single line, description. I have taken photos and have not graded anything, as the text is more informative.    ================================================================

DISC ONE 
Matrix: Side1: XEX 709-2      Stamper code: 1-GRG Matrix: Side2: XEX 710-1      Stamper code: 7-GGT
DISC TWO   Matrix: Side1: XEX 711-1      Stamper code: 8-GGR Matrix: Side2: XEX 712-1      Stamper code:   8-MH

If you are happy with a pair of discs that play from start to finish without any skips or stalls, then this package might interest you. However, these discs have been played and are typical of what you would expect to see and hear from most '60's vinyls.  The sound quality is generally very good, with no appreciable deterioration but there are random 'pops/ticks', with some repetitive ones on 'Long, Long, Long, although most of the tracks are fine. There are numerous handling/needle lines and some marks, so they are not discs that you would want to sit and stare at for too long. 
All 30 tracks play without any skips or repeats.
=====================================================================================
THE COVER
Difficult to grade a 'White Album' cover. Most are in fairly poor condition, so that although this one isn't perfect, it is better than most originals. It has fairly evenly toned to a yellowish-beige colour and doesn't have any real issues. The spine has retained most of its laminate with just a few splits. Of course, there are some pressure lines and the odd mark, which are always evident on a plain white, glossy surface. There are some corner bumps but no tears or serious damage. The 'mono' back panel is blank. =====================================================================================
THE INNER SLEEVES
These are genuine original, single die-cut issues. Made from poor quality paper, these have survived well and are still in reasonably good condition. There are a few seam splits but they are tiny and both bags have remained fully intact. They are creased, which is almost unavoidable with these very flimsy items.
=====================================================================================
THE LYRICS POSTER 
Fully intact, with no tape repairs. Just general age toning, nothing more.
=====================================================================================
THE FOUR PHOTOS
These are in great condition, with nothing more than a little age spotting on the perimeters.

======================================================================



The photos are of the actual item for sale. All records are thoroughly cleaned and listened to, from beginning to end. Professional mailers are always used.
