A LITTLE BACKGROUND INFORMATION ABOUT purplegallinule
I have been a music lover and vinyl enthusiast since the early 1970s and over the past years have become an established and trusted eBay seller of a large and very wide range of vinyl records. The vast majority are authentic, original pressings featuring quality music from the 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's, but occasionally more recent releases if they are of particular interest.
I have been away from selling for almost a year though during this time I have been very fortunate in buying several full record collections including some very rare albums in quite beautiful condition, including many superb Japanese pressings, the quality of which has to be seen and heard to be believed.
I am a GENUINE, INDIVIDUAL PRIVATE SELLER not a professional trader, although you can be 100% assured that I strive hard to apply professional standards to every aspect of my selling. However, in the the unlikely event that we ever did encounter any issues then please do not hesitate to contact me and you have my unequivocal guarantee that the matter will be resolved without delay.
All the records which I sell have been very well cared for, though I will give my honest personal appraisal of their condition and will put up plenty of photos of the actual records for sale to best illustrate condition. I endeavour to highlight anything in the description which I myself would want to be made aware of before deciding to place a bid. I am very aware that, as a distance buyer, you are entrusting in the honesty of the item descriptions and I always aim to describe the records truthfully. Should you need further details on a particular record then I will happily provide extra photographs/details. 
Every single record, barring new releases, be it a £5 or £500 album, goes through the same 4-stage cleaning process using either professionally constructed ultrasonic or wet vacuum systems, often both as required, with only record cleaning fluids of the finest quality and purity using techniques, materials and formulae tailored and developed from cleaning 1000s upon 1000s of albums over many years, so the vinyl is all clean and dust free and ready to play to its maximum potential. Every record is then inspected under the ultra-bright and highly revealing light of an LED inspection lamp and then the relevant visual results noted in the descriptions.  
A note regarding the most important matter of all - the audio - as with all vinyl, even straight out of the cellophane, there can be light crackle, hum or very light 'ticks/pops' during the quiet passages. Visual grading is all well and good, but I have records perfect on the eye which play dreadfully and vice versa, consequently, and as a music lover it is never any hardship, I ensure that I take the time to listen carefully to every single one of these records and include in the descriptions my thoughts on the playback. Obviously, although highly subjective, the only measure by which I make an informed decision is that ultimately if I wouldn't be absolutely 100% happy to immediately slide the record in alongside my own personal treasured collection, then quite simply it will not be listed for sale on here. 
I am merely an enthusiast, certainly by no means an expert, but I think that I know my way round vinyl records well enough to say that you can buy from me with confidence - all I would ask of you is for a chance to put things right in the unlikely event that you are not 100% satisfied.

The Beatles - '1962-1966' and '1967-1970' - original 1978 vinyl albums in excellent condition. The run outs are stamped YEX 905-4 / YEX 906-4 / YEX 907-5 / YEX 908-3 / YEX 909-6 / YEX 910-6 / YEX 911-2 / YEX 912-3 and etched 'HTM'.
The vinyl retains its original glossy sheen with only very light superficial hairlines, absolutely typical handling wear from vinyl being housed in card inners, visible in bright light and I have played this album through and playback is excellent. I am listening to the 'Red' album as I type this, currently 'We Can Work It Out' and the audio is delightful, as often can be the case with coloured vinyls, there is a little light crackle is evident between the tracks, but with the music in full flow, the audio is absolutely superb.
The front laminated gatefold sleeves carry superb full colour Angus McBean photographs of the band and are both in excellent condition with only very light wear commensurate with age and careful handling and these 2 sleeves have been housed in protective outer jackets from new so these are a pair of really nice looking sleeves. The original protective outers were well discoloured and a little worn, though have done a sterling job for 40+ years, but they have now been replaced with heavy duty crystal clear protective gatefold outer jackets. 
The coloured card inner sleeves are in excellent condition though the vinyl is now housed in brand new high quality poly-lined inner sleeves for safekeeping. Use of these very softly lined inner sleeves is both much gentler on the vinyl and conserves the originals. The 'Blue' albums have knifed through their inner sleeves, but they are still in good shape.
Please take a little time to take a look at the photos which were taken today and are of the actual records which are for sale here and, although my photography skills and equipment are a bit limited, attempt to give an accurate reflection of this vintage album's genuine all round condition. I've tried to pack as much in to the picture gallery as possible, but please feel free to ask if you'd like more photos.
All in all, these are 2 very nicely preserved 40+ year old vinyl albums and quite possibly the ultimate in 'greatest hits' albums featuring no less than 54 quite brilliant tracks across both albums. The packaging is in lovely shape and the freshly wet vacuum and ultrasonically cleaned vinyls deliver excellent playback and these albums would make a very worthy addition to anyone's playing rock vinyl collection.
