MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items are in perfect condition. EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing. VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable. GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc. FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.

This first press has variations on the sleeve. The apple logo IS misaligned with the rest of the text AND Her Majesty is also missing from the sleeve and vinyl label. On front cover photo is somewhat larger than usual sleeve. The picture shows less of the trees and crosswalk (upper and bottom right).
Sleeve has arrow spines.
Small ? on labels.
Original EMI inner sleeve is black, smooth on the exterior and rough on the inside, it has label-open to only one side, and without text (see pic). Copies also came in a white "Patent..." inner sleeve and there is some dispute if both are original.
There is another variation with the misaligned Apple that has "Her Majesty" on Label B but missing from the sleeve ( This One )
