Condition:
Vinyl: VERY GOOD +
Visually the vinyl is glossy and clean. Only subtle light hairline marks can be seen on the surface. The labels are without writing and have minimal spindle wear. VERY GOOD+. The audio is great, slightly noisy lead-ins to both sides and but quiet in between tracks. Crisp vocals and punchy bass as is expected from an early mono recording on the heavy weight vinyl. There are no pops, skips or jumps. A fantastic listening experience. VERY GOOD+.
Sleeve: VERY GOOD+ 
The sleeve looks great. The front and rear retain a glossy finish with bright colours. The centre fold has a name written in ink but is otherwise is without staining or discolouration. There is no sign of ring wear, fully readable spine with subtle wear to bottom, top and bottom edge without wear, and corners with just mild rounding. Superb!
Inner Sleeve: VERY GOOD+
The original polythene lined, die cut Emitex inner sleeve looks great. It has 'Beatles For Sale December 1964' written in ink. It has minimal staining and no discolouration and shows only minimal creasing. Also included in the sale is an audiophile quality, anti-static inner sleeve to help protect and preserve the fantastic record.
