🔊 Condition

  • Vinyl: EX
    Very clean with strong dynamics. Occasional faint background noise during track transitions. Visually near-NM, graded EX due to minor ballpoint pen marks on Side 1 label — very faint and barely noticeable.

  • Cover: VG+
    Minor edge and corner wear, but overall solid and presentable for a 1965 original. See photos for details.

  • Inner Sleeve: Original Emitex paper sleeve in VG+ condition, close to EX.

🎁 Notes:
From a smoke-free collection. A beautiful example of the true UK first pressing – perfect for collectors or Beatles fans.

📦 Ships safely with record outside of sleeve to avoid seam splits.
Feel free to message with any questions!
