Please Please Me - Vinyl/Sleeve: G/G+
Matrix: (a) XEX 421-1N 11 GLR (b) XEX 422-1N 0 GTG
The record has two skips on side two's 'P.S. I Love You'. There are scuffs and scratches on both sides but there are heavier marks on side two track three. These create tics/clicks and surface noise, but not as bad as you'd expect them to be, and the track plays through without skipping. Side one also has a visible line across the last three tracks and there is surface noise and tics during those tracks. The laminated sleeve is in decent condition, no splits and very little edgewear with just some wrinkles in the laminate. There is writing on the back and handling wear. It has it's original tracing paper lined inner sleeve in great condition with no seam splits.
A Hard Day's Night - Vinyl/Sleeve: G/VG+
Matrix: (a) XEX 481-3N 8 RLH (b) XEX 482-3N 0 RHA
The record plays through without skips. It has scuffs from careless handling and side one has three feelable scratches (as well as a couple of scuffs), and between them, they spread over most of the tracks on side one. Tracks one and two are the most affected, with loud rotational clicks right from the very start which get a bit quieter within half a minute, but continue with varying degrees of volume through to the end of track two. The remainder of the side plays through comparatively ok. Side two has some light hairlines but nothing severe, and in spite of some light clicks at the beginning, side two isn't too bad. The labels show lots of spindle trails when angled towards the light.The Garrod & Lofthouse laminated sleeve is in quite nice condition. No edgewear to speak of, just a couple of short laminate wrinkles, and the back isn't too discolored. Comes with it's original tracing paper lined inner sleeve in great condition with no seam splits.
Abbey Road - 1st Press Misaligned Apple - Vinyl/Sleeve: G/G+
Matrix: (a) YEX 749-2 4 OMO (b) YEX 750-1 3 MMO
The record has TWO SKIPS during side two's 'Because'. It has handling wear, and a dull surface with many hairlines although none are feelable. The record plays with intrusive surface crackle throughout play on both sides. Side two has tics during 'Here Comes The Sun', and clicks during 'Because' as well as the two skips. There are further clicks during the remaining tracks. The Side one label has 'a couple of coffee cup ring marks and some scratches. It looks like this has suffered from plenty of careless handling with playing arm skate marks across the whole record. This copy has the first issue laminated sleeve with misaligned apple and thinner spine. It has many creases and wrinkles in the laminate, and somebody has gotten artistic with a biro on the front sleeve. There's also biro on the level crossing. The bottom edge is showing some wear and the spine has lots of little creases. There is also a dull coffee cup ring on the front cover.
